  1. “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” rocker writes after Trump aide uses White Stripes classic in a Twitter video.

  4. Video is an entirely different monster than audio when it comes to copyright. There’s no ASCAP or BMI subscription rights for video.

  5. While I HATE his rendition of Jolene have fun suing the crap out of his campaign.

  7. I hope this is the first of many. Trump needs to be held accountable. Even if many judges are corrupt or at least “partisan” now. And taking his money might actually hurt him, at least mentally.

  9. As a punishment, Trump should have to change the song to “Icky Thump” and play it three times at every rally.

  10. Imagine how rich trump would be if he stopped doing dumb shit to get sued

  11. I’m not into rock music but Seven Nation Army was a banger 🔥

  14. I wish a popular artist would write and release an anti-fascist anthem.

    Edit: I would an easy to chant/sing modern anthem.

  15. He and Kyle Gass should form a band the likes of which have never been seen. They should call themselves Denacious T

  16. This is the second time the Trump campaign has done this. They did it in 2016 and Jack threatened legal action if they did it again. Well now we’re at that point.

  17. It’s amazing that they aren’t required to seek the blessing of the rights holder before using in a blatantly partisan matter to promote their political agendas

  19. Lol, pretty soon the only songs Trump is gonna be able to play is the Hulkamania theme and any shitty kid Rock song…

  20. Like, why don’t they just play nothing but Kid Rock at his rallies?! Don’t his voters eat that shit up???

  22. Sue each campaign staff member personally. Make them pay out their own pockets to defend the lawsuits!

  24. There’s a few Jack White albums I’m missing, I’m going record shopping.

  25. “And now Comrade Kamala is bringing in even more election interference. She has armies from seven nations poised to attack at any moment”

  27. How/Why does Trump keep doing this? I see many of these headlines but have any of them been successful? I hope so but I haven’t seen anything

  28. Good thing Jack doesn’t actually need/care about the money. The line of people waiting for Trump lawsuit payouts is getting pretty long.

  29. It doesn’t matter to tRump. His people play the music without permission, piss off the artist, and then he moves on to piss off someone else. Like someone else said, go after tRump’s people. They can’t afford the lawsuits. And tRump won’t help them.

  30. Good! More need to do this. If they all would do it, they could bury him in lawyer fees and make a statement at the same time.

  31. Amazing how many people hate trump and yet there’s still this huge pool of weirdos that absolutely adore him. 

  33. I assume he’s made a shitload of money from that song basically beginning one of the international songs of soccer/football, there’s no way he’s going to stand for it being associated with the orange fucker.

  34. Jack White performed at a Bernie Rally in 2020. This song was used in a couple Bernie vids. Trumps worst Nightmare

  35. Seven Nation Army is a bit too fast for trump to do his double-handy dance to for long….

  38. Trump and his campaign are simply freeloaders and deadbeats. They owe cities and airports millions of dollars for having used their rally venues and landing and takeoff facilities but ran out before settling those accounts. Artists’ performing rights and royalties are of zero consequence to the deadbeat freeloaders comprising Trump’s entourage.

  39. And the message comin’ from his eyes
    Says, “Leave it alone”

  40. I’m going to be richer than Trump once he pays all these lawsuits.

  42. > “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” rocker writes after Trump aide uses White Stripes classic in a Twitter video

    Get ’em, Jack!

  43. I have a fantasy of starting a biker gang in Texas called the seven dildo army.

    Running into copyright trouble is an obstacle.

    Also, I don’t know how to ride a motorcycle. And live a half a continent away from Texas.

    But I still want a motorcycle helmet with a rainbow of giant bouncy dildos looking like a glorious Mohawk.
