		</div><p>Donald Trump has locked horns with plenty of people during his presidential campaign, straying into the tech world by briefly calling on a boycott on Apple products.</p>
<p>But more surprisingly, Trump has now got himself into a tangle with Electronic Arts (EA), over a fan-made video that the billionaire tweeted from his official account.</p>
<p>The video in question is called Trump Effect, having been put together by a fan, using images of Trump on the campaign trail cut together with images and video of modern day America, including the protests outside Trump rallies and other more general disquiet.</p>
<p>The real point of contention though is the main audio, which is taken from Martin Sheen’s character, speaking in the Mass Effect 2 trailer from 2010. It’s all wonderfully dramatic.</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, EA took issue with its work being used in a Trump video – even more so once it appeared to have been endorsed by Trump himself when he tweeted it.</p>
<p>The company quickly filed a takedown notice to YouTube, with Trump’s tweet becoming ‘withheld’ shortly afterwards, no longer displaying on his timeline.</p>
<p>In a statement to Game Informer, the developer of Need for Speed and Star Wars Battlefront said: “The video was an unauthorised use of our IP (intellectual property).</p>
<p>“We do not support our assets being used in political campaigns.”<br />
At the time of writing, the video is still available online, though that is likely to change as time passes and EA tracks down each version.</p>
