The Trump campaign has filed an emergency motion to postpone deposition following a preliminary injunction that bars them from using Isaac Hayes' music at campaign events. This development comes after the campaign's unauthorized use of "Hold On, I'm Coming" at various events, including the Republican National Convention.

Key points about the postponement request:

• The motion argues that deposition is premature following the court's preliminary injunction ruling
• Defendants claim insufficient preparation time and incomplete documentation from plaintiffs
• Issues regarding proper party identification between Turning Point USA, Inc. and Turning Point Action, Inc.
• Campaign lawyers seek immediate court decision due to next-day deposition scheduling

Ronald Coleman, Trump's attorney, stated they aim to maintain a cooperative process with Hayes' legal team moving forward.

This case runs parallel to another ongoing music copyright dispute involving Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue," where Trump faces similar allegations of unauthorized use. Grant is seeking $300,000 in damages for a Biden-focused campaign video that received 13.7 million views before Twitter removed it.

These cases highlight the ongoing challenges campaigns face regarding music licensing and copyright compliance during political events.
