The band had sued Trump for the “flagrant misappropriation” of their song “Seven Nation Army”
The White Stripes’ Jack White and Meg White have withdrawn their lawsuit against president-elect Donald Trump, according to a court filing reviewed by Consequence.
In September, Jack and Meg White sued Trump and his campaign over the “flagrant misappropriation” of The White Stripes’ song “Seven Nation Army” after it was used to soundtrack a social media video promoting Trump’s presidential campaign. The band accused Trump and his campaign of six counts of federal copyright infringement and sought damages and injunctive relief.
However, on Sunday, November 10th, The White Stripes requested that the lawsuit be “dismissed without prejudice.” By filing “without prejudice,” the band reserves the right to potentially refile the case in the future if they choose to do so.
A legal representative for The White Stripes did not respond to Consequence’s request for comment.
Following Trump’s election last week, Jack White described him as an “obvious fascist” and a “wannabe dictator,” adding that, “the American people with the popular vote showed that the citizens placed him in power and now deserve whatever evils he’s going to enact.”
Trump’s campaign is still facing a pending copyright lawsuit against Isaac Hayes’ estate over the repeated unauthorized use over “Hold On, I’m Coming.” In September, Hayes’ estate won a preliminary injunction against Trump’s campaign, which forbids him from playing the song until a civil trial gets under way next year.
