White Stripes Sue TRUMP Over Flagrant Misappropriation of Hit Song

Band accuse campaign of unauthorised use of Seven Nation Army and seek ?significant monetary damages?

The Guardian 11 SEP 2024

The White Stripes? Jack White and Meg White have filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for what they allege is the ?flagrant misappropriation? of a recording of their hit song Seven Nation Army in a campaign video.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Jack White shared the first page of the lawsuit, filed in court in New York, with the caption: ?This machine sues fascists.?

The video that spurred the legal action was posted by Trump staffer Margo McAtee Martin on X on 29 August, but has since been deleted. It shows the Republican presidential nominee boarding a plane with the opening riff of Seven Nation Army playing in the background.

Responding via Instagram at the time, Jack White wrote: ?Don?t even think about using my music you fascists. Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others).?

The singer has made good on the threat, filing a copyright infringement suit, alongside Meg White, as the White Stripes, seeking ?significant monetary damages?, and listing Trump, his campaign and Martin as defendants. The suit alleges that the campaign did not seek or obtain permission from the band to use the song, and did not respond to pre-litigation efforts to resolve the issue.

The lawyer Ronald Coleman, with Dhillon Law Group, who is acting for Trump on the matter, gave no comment to the Guardian on Monday, but said over email the defendants had not yet been served with papers. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the Guardian?s request for comment.

The White Stripes join a growing list of artists who have disavowed Trump?s use of their music as part of his campaigns for presidency in 2016 and 2024, including Neil Young, Beyonc?, Foo Fighters and Celine Dion.

In late August, Universal Music served a legal notice to Trump?s campaign over their unauthorised use of Abba songs as part of his 2024 campaign.
