Donald Trump. The MyPillow guy. The ... Toledo men’s basketball program?
One of those may be unlike the others, but, yes, there’s at least one thing they all share in common: a banishment to Twitter purgatory.
In the case of the Rockets, their exile stems from an unwitting mistake made three years ago, when a young staff member used two rap songs — Lil Wayne’s “Right Above It” and Lil Yachty’s “Pardon Me” — without permission in a highlight video posted on the basketball team’s Twitter account.
A staffer whose email was linked to the account then overlooked notices of the copyright violation, as issued by the Universal Music Group.
