Trump Blasted in Copyright Clash with Hollywood Heavyweights
Artists Equity, the production company owned by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, has issued a statement expressing their strong disapproval of the unauthorized use of a monologue from their recent movie, Air, for a campaign fundraising video posted by Donald Trump. The video, lasting two and a half minutes, was shared on Truth Social and incorporated nearly the entire audio from a notable monologue delivered by Damon in the film. In the movie, the speech is used as a persuading factor to get Michael Jordan to sign with Nike, whereas Trump is employing it to encourage his MAGA supporters to donate money to his presidential campaign.
