The Hill

The White Stripes are following through with their threat of legal action after an aide to Donald Trump posted a video featuring one of their songs, filing a copyright infringement lawsuit against the staffer and the former president’s campaign.⁠

In the suit filed Monday in the Southern district of New York, the band accused Trump’s campaign of “flagrant misappropriation” of their 2003 hit, “Seven Nation Army.”⁠

Last month, Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, posted a video clip of the ex-commander-in-chief traveling to a pair of rallies with “Seven Nation Army” playing as he boarded a plane.⁠

“Oh…. Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” Jack White, one half of the rock duo, wrote on Instagram at the time. ⁠

On Monday, White posted part of the lawsuit on Instagram with a message: “This machine sues fascists.”⁠

The craziest thing right now are all of these "anti-government rockers" suddenly backing the government, AND THEN, calls everyone else fascists.

I remember when rock stars used to be edgy, not whiny.

Wait for them to realize they leased it them when their record label sold the rights to use their music.

White Stripes Lawyer; we're suing for $10000! Judge: that would be almost 10 times what you made off the actual song

The problem is that toe rag productions is the record company that owns the Rights to the song and they are dissolved bankrupt out of business, White stripes don't own their own music , record label does and since this one is out of business it becomes public domain.

And just like that Trump began to tear the music industry apart, forcing the bands to produce their own music lest it be sold to someone they don’t like, and at the same time forcing the musicians to admit that they are not only a part of the machine they pretend to hate but also painfully unaware of what real fascism looks like. I like the white stripes music but this dude is acting a fool.
