The White Stripes Sue Trump For Using 'Seven Nation Army'
HuffPost
“This machine sues fascists,” Jack White said in a post on Instagram on Monday announcing the lawsuit.
The White Stripes are suing former President Donald Trump for “significant monetary damages” for using their 2003 hit song, “Seven Nation Army,” for campaigning purposes without permission.
In a 13-page complaint filed on Monday, the rock duo comprised of Jack and Meg White said that Trump used the Grammy award-winning song “to burnish Defendant Trump’s public image, and generate financial and other support for his campaign and candidacy on the backs of Plaintiffs [The White Stripes], whose permission and endorsement he neither sought nor obtained in violation of their rights under federal copyright law.”
The suit — which also named Trump’s campaign and Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, as defendants — criticized Trump for his unauthorized use of the song given that he is a “self-professed sophisticated and successful businessman with decades-long experience in the entertainment industry.”
“Plaintiffs vehemently oppose the policies adopted and actions taken by defendant Trump when he was president and those he has proposed for the second term he seeks,” the lawsuit added.
