"This machine sues fascists": Jack and Meg White sue Donald Trump for use of White Stripes song

Source: Salon via MSN

Jack and Meg White are not backing down from a legal fight with Donald Trump.

The formerly married duo, who recorded and toured together as The White Stripes, are suing Trump for using one of the band's most famous songs — "Seven Nation Army," off of "Elephant," their fourth studio album, released in 2003 — alleging in their claim that Trump's use of their music in a campaign video was a "flagrant misappropriation."

The copyright infringement lawsuit filed Monday in New York furthers that the Trump campaign did not contact the band for permission to use the song. The White Stripes are seeking "significant monetary damages."

Trump's attorney said in an email that the defendant has not been served with the papers. The Trump campaign did not respond to requests to comment, The Guardian reported.
