Nashville, Tennessee – Musician Jack White has taken a stand against the Trump campaign for using his music without permission. White, known for his work with the White Stripes and other bands, stated that he would take legal action if his music continues to be used by the campaign.
White’s hit song “Seven Nation Army” was featured in a video shared by the Trump campaign, prompting the musician to speak out against what he referred to as “fascist” tactics. This is not the first time a musician has spoken out against a political campaign for using their music without consent.
In a statement, White made it clear that he does not support the Trump campaign and does not want his music to be associated with it in any way. He warned the campaign to cease using his music immediately to avoid facing legal consequences.
The issue of musicians objecting to the unauthorized use of their music by political campaigns is not new. Artists often use their platform to voice their political beliefs and maintain control over how their music is used.
White’s threat of legal action serves as a reminder of the importance of obtaining permission before using someone else’s work, especially in the realm of political campaigns. The dispute between White and the Trump campaign highlights the ongoing tension between artists and political figures seeking to align themselves with popular music.
As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the Trump campaign responds to White’s demands and whether other artists will follow suit in challenging the unauthorized use of their music for political purposes. White’s actions underscore the power of musicians to assert control over their creative work and distance themselves from political ideologies they do not support.
