Entertainment / Donald Trump The White Stripes Sue Trump Over Song Use Band claims copyright infringement over use in campaign video By Newser.AI Read our AI policy Posted Sep 9, 2024 9:57 PM CDT Copied Musicians Jack White, right, and Meg White of the band The White Stripes perform an impromptu concert in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, June 25, 2007. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Vince Fedoroff, File) The White Stripes have launched a lawsuit against former President Trump, accusing him of using their song "Seven Nation Army" without consent. The complaint alleges copyright infringement after Trump's campaign posted a video featuring the song's recognizable riff during recent stops in Michigan and Wisconsin. The Trump campaign has yet to respond to requests for comment. The band's suit was filed in Manhattan's federal court and explicitly states that Jack White and Meg White "vehemently oppose" Trump's political stance and the actions he took as president. This lawsuit adds to a series of legal actions from musicians objecting to Trump's use of their work. Last week, a federal judge in Atlanta restricted Trump from using "Hold On, I'm Coming" after a successful suit by the Isaac Hayes Jr. estate. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
