Pentagon Deletes Drone Video Due to Metallica Copyright | JQJO

The Pentagon removed and re-uploaded a promotional video about increased drone warfare after a copyright issue with Metallica's "Enter Sandman." The original video, featuring former Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, highlighted the Trump administration's expansion of drone use. X (formerly Twitter) requested the video's removal due to unauthorized music use. The re-uploaded version omits the music. Metallica has previously expressed concerns about the military's use of their music, including reports of its use in detainee interrogations during the Iraq War.
