You know who (apparently) didn’t get sued? The person who made the video and initially tweeted it. Because they probably took down their tweet when they got the cease and desist letter. Trump & Co. retweeted it commercially and refused to pay for it. They then got sued because they refused to take it down after getting the letter.

If you find yourself as the recipient of a cease and desist letter because you used someone else’s creative work for your own profit, just don’t be an ass and take it down. Then you won’t get sued.
