Lara Trump's Legal Woes: Covering Controversial Song Could Land Her in Hot Water

Lara Trump may face legal trouble after covering the Tom Petty song "I Won't Back Down," as the Petty family previously issued a cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign for unauthorized use of the song during a rally in 2020. While covering songs is common, the Petty family's previous legal action suggests they may take further action. Although covers are typically allowed under fair use, the Petty family's objection to the Trump campaign's use of the song raises the possibility of legal consequences for Lara Trump.
