传奇音乐人尼尔·杨对特朗普总统的竞选委员会提起了1000万美元的诉讼，指控其侵犯版权，在10月12日俄亥俄州扬斯敦的集会上，特朗普总统登台演讲前播放了杨的歌曲《Rockin' in the Free World》（在自由世界摇滚）。
Legendary musician Neil Young filed a $10 million lawsuit against President Donald Trump's campaign committee for infringing Young's copyright by playing his song "Rockin' in the Free World" just before the president took the stage to speak at an Oct. 12 rally in Youngstown, Ohio.
杨在弗吉尼亚州里士满联邦地区法院提起的诉讼指控称，特朗普47委员会未经这位音乐人的许可，“在其他旨在鼓励共和党选民在即将到来的中期选举中投票的集会上多次播放该歌曲”。
The Trump 47 Committee has caused that song, without the musician's permission, "to be played numerous times at other rallies designed to encourage Republican votes in the upcoming mid-term elections," Young's lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia, alleges.
周一提起的诉讼称，特朗普“亲自知晓在集会上播放该歌曲需要获得许可”，且杨“未曾，也不会授予所需的许可”。
Trump "was personally aware that a license would be required to play the Song at rallies," and that Young "has not, and would not, grant the required license," the suit filed Monday says.
现年80岁的杨曾于2020年在曼哈顿联邦法院起诉特朗普成立的另一家公司“Donald J. Trump for President Inc.”，指控其侵犯《Rockin' in the Free World》以及杨创作的另一首歌曲《Devil's Sidewalk》（魔鬼的人行道）的版权，因在竞选集会上未经许可播放这两首歌。
Young, 80, in 2020 sued another corporation formed by Trump, Donald J. Trump for President Inc., in Manhattan federal court for copyright infringement of "Rockin' in the Free World," and another song written by Young, "Devil's Sidewalk," for having played the songs without permission at campaign rallies.
新诉讼称，在第一起案件中，特朗普的公司“未提出任何抗辩，在送达后不久即达成和解，承诺未经许可和杨的授权，绝不再使用《Rockin' in the Free World》”。CNBC已就该诉讼向特朗普47委员会和杨的律师请求置评。
In that first case, Trump's corporation "asserted no defense and immediately settled shortly after it was served, promising that it would never again use 'Rockin' in the Free World' without a license and permission from Young," the new suit said. CNBC has requested comment from the Trump 47 Committee about the suit, and from Young's lawyers.
白宫在被问及置评时，将CNBC转介给共和党全国委员会，后者未立即回复寻求置评的电子邮件。
The White House, when asked for comment, referred CNBC to the Republican National Committee, which did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
出生于加拿大的杨是美国归化公民。他两次入选摇滚名人堂：1995年以独唱艺人身份入选，1997年以水牛春田乐队成员身份入选。杨还是民谣摇滚超级组合克罗斯比、斯蒂尔斯、纳什与杨的成员。
Young, who was born in Canada, is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He is a two-time inductee in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: in 1995 as a solo artist, and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. Young was also a member of the folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
杨于1989年发行了《Rockin' in the Free World》。
Young released "Rockin' in the Free World" in 1989.
诉状将这首曲子描述为“一首尖锐的颂歌，将美国政治言辞的空洞承诺与穷人、无家可归者和被遗忘者面临的残酷现实形成鲜明对比”。诉状指出，歌词描写了一位母亲抛弃婴儿、成瘾，以及“繁荣阴影下垃圾堆积——而反复出现的副歌则带着残酷的讽刺，颂扬着显然并非人人共享的自由”。
His lawsuit describes the tune as a "blistering anthem that contrasts the hollow promises of American political rhetoric with the harsh realities faced by the poor, homeless and forgotten." The lyrics include descriptions of a mother discarding her baby, addiction, and "garbage piling in the shadows of prosperity — while the repeated chorus delivers savage irony, celebrating freedom that clearly isn't shared by all," the suit notes.
“简而言之，这首歌与唐纳德·J·特朗普所代表的一切截然相反，”诉状写道。
"In short, the Song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for," the suit says.
除了“特朗普47委员会”，诉状还列出了其他五名被告，他们以化名“Doe”出现，杨认为他们应对侵犯杨的版权负责。
In addition to the Trump 47 Committee, the suit lists five other defendants, identified by the pseudonym "Doe," whom Young believes are liable for infringing on Young's copyright.
诉状中提到的10月12日特朗普集会，也是一起引起当地执法部门关注的事件的发生地。集会视频显示，几名与会者疑似攻击并殴打了一名女子布莱克·迈利，此人当时身穿印有“公布爱泼斯坦档案”字样的T恤，并多次对特朗普高呼“法西斯”。据报道，俄亥俄州马霍宁县治安官杰里·格林正在就该事件调查三名涉案人员。
The Oct. 12 Trump rally that is referenced in the lawsuit was also the scene of an incident that has drawn attention from local law enforcement. Videos from the rally show several attendees apparently attacking and beating a woman, Blake Miley, who had repeatedly yelled 'fascist" at Trump while wearing a shirt bearing the message "Release the Epstein Files." Mahoning County, Ohio, Sheriff Jerry Greene reportedly is investigating three individuals in connection with the incident.
