The White Stripes are dropping a copyright infringement lawsuit in opposition to Donald Trump and his marketing campaign following the previous president’s Election Day win.
The band had accused Trump and his 2024 marketing campaign of “flagrant misappropriation” of its tune “Seven Nation Army” in September, after an aide to the forty fifth president posted a video that featured the 2003 hit.
Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, shared a video clip in August of the forty fifth president touring to a pair of rallies with “Seven Nation Army” enjoying as he boarded a airplane.
“Oh…. Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” band member Jack White wrote on social media on the time, earlier than the video was eliminated.
“This machine sues fascists,” White had posted when the lawsuit was filed.
However this week, an legal professional for White and his bandmate and ex-wife, Meg White, mentioned the duo was asking the Southern District of New York to dismiss the claims with out prejudice, that means the musicians can select to refile.
An legal professional for Jack White declined ITK’s request for remark, whereas one for Trump’s marketing campaign didn’t reply.
Jack White denounced Trump after he received his reelection bid final week in opposition to Vice President Harris.
“Americans chose a known, obvious fascist and now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in,” the 49-year-old performer mentioned in an Instagram put up.
“It’s absolutely dumbfounding that this con man succeeded in pulling the wool over so many Americans eyes not once, but twice,” he continued.
