The White Stripes filed a copyright infringement complaint against Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to IPWatchdog, the band members accuse the campaign of "flagrant misappropriation" of their music.
The lawsuit is part of a broader pattern: a slew of musicians have sued the campaign over unauthorized use of their songs. The White Stripes' case is the latest in that series, continuing a legal trend that has drawn attention to how political campaigns handle music licensing.
The complaint adds to the legal pressure on the campaign, though the specific songs or events at issue are not detailed in the report. The case highlights the ongoing tension between artists' rights and campaign use of popular music without permission.
