The White Stripes Sue Donald Trump for Seven Nation Army Use
After threatening legal action against “fascist” Donald Trump last month for using The White Stripes’ classic “Seven Nation Army” in social media campaign videos, Jack White made good on his word Monday.
He and bandmate Meg White sued the Republican presidential nominee and related parties in the U.S. District Court of Southern New York for copyright infringement.
Documents obtained by TheWrap cite the Trump re-election campaign’s attempts to “burnish Defendant Trump’s public image, and generate financial and other support for his campaign and candidacy on the backs of Plaintiffs, whose permission and endorsement he neither sought nor obtained in violation of their rights under federal copyright law.”
“This machine sues fascists,” frontman White wrote on Instagram Monday, posting a screengrab of the lawsuit to his profile.
