Jack White Blasts Trump: Suing Over Unauthorized Song Use
Musician Jack White has had enough of Donald Trump’s unauthorized use of his music and is taking legal action.
White, the former frontman of The White Stripes, has accused the former president of using his song “Seven Nation Army” at political rallies without permission.
In a statement, White said he was “deeply disappointed” by Trump’s “repeated unauthorized use of my music.”
“This song is very meaningful to me and my fans. It’s a song about unity and belonging, and I don’t want it to be associated with a divisive figure like Donald Trump,” he said.
White is the latest musician to sue Trump over the unauthorized use of their music. The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Aerosmith have all taken similar action.
Trump has a history of using music without permission at his rallies. He has been accused of using songs by Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., and Queen without their authorization.
The use of music without permission is a violation of copyright law. Copyright holders have the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and perform their作品.
If Trump is found to have infringed on White’s copyright, he could be liable for damages. He could also be ordered to stop using the song at his rallies.
The lawsuit is likely to be closely watched by other musicians who have had their music used without permission by Trump.
It could also set a precedent for future cases involving the unauthorized use of music by politicians.
