A social media video posted by the White House shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents chasing and handcuffing alleged immigrants to the music of Sabrina Carpenter's "Juno," and the pop star is responding.
I mean, it doesn’t really need to get to the courts, does it?
Media providers are generally legal-phobic so they’ll just demonetise or suspend a video or clip while it gets sorted out… and as it’s usually all automatic in process with very few humans in the loop, it’ll take a while before it gets sorted out, where the impact of the unavailability video or clip will have had it’s full effect.
If nothing else, it makes it a little more hostile for arseholes to use music or licensed content that they know is going to attract legal drama and tank their viewing numbers or viewer reach.
They’re terrified of a bigger corporate interest getting in a pissing contest with their parent company / investment group. But they’re even more terrified of the regulatory power of the federal government. YouTube isn’t going to take down an ICE video that’s pirated Sabrina Carpenter any sooner than it’s going to take down one of Trump’s sniff films of airstrikes in the Caribbean.

This is only a technique that works on small fish in a big pond.
Yeah, I’m sure the courts will get on that one real quick.
Maybe after that, Bruce Springsteen can sue the Pentagon for its use of “Born in the USA”.

So you recommend what, precisely?
If you’re an artist and you’re outspokenly against a thing, make some popular art expression your anger and frustration at the thing.
Sabrina Carpenter is fully within her ability to write the “Fuck ICE” song and plaster it all over the internet.
