The White Stripes Sue Donald Trump Over ‘Flagrant’ Use of Music in Campaign Video: ‘Fascists’

The White Stripes have filed a copyright lawsuit against Donald Trump for allegedly using their song “Seven Nation Army” in a social media video.

The White Stripes have filed a copyright lawsuit against Donald Trump for using “Seven Nation Army” in a social media post, making good on threats to sue the Republican presidential candidate. The lawsuit accuses Trump not only of infringing the band’s rights to the song, but also of violating federal trademark law by falsely suggesting the duo support his bid for another presidential term. In their lawsuit on Monday, the White Stripes said that Trump knew or should have known that he needed a license to play their song in his video — citing the fact that he has been “on the receiving end of numerous copyright claims by musical artists whose work he used without permission.”
