White Stripes singer angered after Trump aide shares social media post using clip of band’s hit Seven Nation Army

The White Stripes singer Jack White called Donald Trump’s campaign “fascists” and threatened to sue after an aide apparently used a clip of the band’s hit Seven Nation Army on a pro-Trump social media post.

Trump’s deputy director of communications, Margo Martin, shared a brief 10-second video clip of Trump boarding a plane to campaign events with the music as a background soundtrack.

The move clearly angered White, who rapidly became the latest in a long line of musicians to take umbrage at their art being used as a soundtrack to Trump’s bid to retake the White House.

On Instagram 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.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin.’

    so its ok to use copyrighted material if you just use it until someone yells at you, then switch to the next piece youre not allowed to utilize?

    at what point are you punished for clearly breaking the copyright law on purpose? or is that only for poor people?

      if the punishment for breaking the law is a fine that law only exists for the poor

      It’s another custom that’s bound people only by the fear of constant public shame and ridicule that trump has shambled through like a toddler through a spiderweb.
