Donald Trump and the White Stripes 1 Natalie Edwards IMC 452 - POV #2 Rewrite November 1, 2016 Trump and the White Stripes: Is it ethical for people, including presidential candidates, to use content without getting permission from the original artist? According to Kate Feldman from tHe New York Daily News, on Tuesday, October 4, two former band members were reunited after finding out that a video containing one of their songs was released to promote Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign. As a result, controversy arose because these artists did not give Trump permission to use tHeir song, wHicH clearly and unetHically violates tHe artist’s rigHts and may be copyrigHt infringement. Jack and Meg WHite, former band members of tHe WHite Stripes, stated immediately that they are “disgusted” by tHe use of tHeir “Seven Nation Army” song in a Donald Trump campaign video (Feldman). On Facebook and Twitter, the White Stripes and Third Man Records, which is Jack White’s current record label, released a statement explaining that they are not affiliated witH Trump, and tHat tHey do not want Trump’s beliefs and actions to reflect tHe band itself. According to Carly Ledbetter from The Huffington Post, at first, it was unclear if the video was an official Trump campaign video. But, a spokesperson from Pitchfork stated that the video was actually a fan-made clip entitled “Trump TriumpHant.” The video was posted on YouTube by a user witH tHe account name of “God-Emperor Trump” (Ledbetter). THe now-deleted fan-video featured a series of Trump rally clips witH tHe song from tHe band’s 2003 “ElepHant” album playing in the background (Feldman). Jack WHite’s manager, Ian Montone, eXplained tHat “If you can’t find the video, great. Then our lawyers have done tHeir job” (Feldman). So, regardless of wHetHer tHe video was official, it Had to be remanded because it demonstrated an unauthorized use of the White Stripe’s music and threatened to taint tHeir brand’s image. According to Matt Miller from Esquire, as a result of this debacle, Third Man Records revealed a new anti-Trump WHite Stripes t-shirt. The front of the t-shirt reads “Icky Trump”, wHicH is a play on tHe WHite Stripes song “Icky THump” (See Image 1). THe back of the sHirt lists the original song lyrics, which are ironic and point fingers at 2 Trump for his unpopular stance on immigration (See Image 2). On Twitter, THird Man Records announced that the t-shirt is now available for pre-order and will be available in a few sHort weeks just before the election takes place (Miller). According to Lyndsey Havens from Billboard, artists who have also taken similar actions and voiced similar sentiments for tHe Presidential candidate to stop using tHeir music include: THe Rolling Stones, AerosmitH, Queen, The Backstreet Boys, Adele, Neil Young, R.E.M., and EartH Wind & Fire. Trump angered tHese artists by eitHer using tHeir songs at one of His campaign rallies or in some sort of video/commercial. Most importantly, tHese artists do not want to be associated with Trump because of tHe way He “regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant XenopHobe, racist, misogynist, and birtHer wHo Has repeatedly pledged to ban all immigrants from entering tHe U.S.” (Ledbetter). Most of tHese artists most likely fear guilt by association, wHicH is wHy tHey immediately release statements and even design t-shirts to explain their stance to their fans. Is it etHical for someone to use someone else’s content witHout getting his or her permission? Absolutely not. CopyrigHt infringement is a serious offense tHat can be easily and mistakenly violated by many people, brands, and companies. According to the U.S. Copyright Office, copyrigHt infringement occurs wHen a copyrigHted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work witHout tHe permission of tHe copyrigHt owner. The legal penalties for copyrigHt infringement include fines that range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed (Library of Congress). CopyrigHt infringement is most common in tHe music industry, as well as in politics, advertising, and any other artistic profession Everyone is entitled to have his or her own work protected, and credit must always be given to tHe original artist no matter what. From a marketing and advertising standpoint, it is important for people, brands, and companies to be especially careful when incorporating other people’s work in their own. Using an artist’s song, content, or idea costs tHousands, if not millions, of dollars. According to MarsHall Brain from How Stuff Works, depending on the artist, tHe cost to feature a song in a commercial or video ranges from $25K to $2 million, whicH goes to the original creator of the song. Most importantly, a creator of a particular copyright has the rights to tell who can or cannot reproduce or share their work. Bands like the White Stripes want to protect tHeir music and brand from furtHer being tainted by Donald Trump and his antics. Due to copyright issues, it is not etHical for any person to use material witHout consent from tHe original artist. Regardless of wHo created tHe Trump campaign video, anyone wHo refrains from asking tHe artist for permission is subject to tHe same fines and consequences. Trump Has Had a History of using artists’ songs witHout tHeir permission at His rallies, and He continues to do so because money is not an object to Him. In tHis case though, it was the fan that violated tHe rigHts to tHe song “Seven Nation Army” and ultimately offended tHe White Stripes by relating the band to Donald Trump. 3 Works Cited Brain, MarsHall.

It seemed like a harm- Aless diversion from all the drama and pressure in her life. She reasoned, how hard could it be to play herself? In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele. Th ere is some harmless banter and the next thing we know Adele is up on stage singing the song “Right As Rain.” Adele realized that that kind of promotion in America was well worth the eff ort, but would later acknowledge in Vogue that the Ugly Betty experience cured her of any future acting aspirations. “I can’t watch it.

    The Nerve Interview: It Might Get Loud director Davis Guggenheim | Nerve Entertainment 10/11/09 7:59 PM PERSONALS | RSS | HELP | SITE MAP | ADVERTISE ON NERVE FEATURES ADVICE ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHY BLOGS DATING CONFESSIONS 1 Aug 11th, 2009 With It Might Get Loud, director Davis Guggenheim wanted to tell the personal stories of three guitar legends from different generations: Jack White from the White Stripes, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Guggenheim, who directed the 2007 global-warming doc An Inconvenient Truth, wanted to stay away from typical rock-documentary tactics. It Might Get Loud has no rock critics, no ex-girlfriends, and no narration. Instead Guggenheim focuses on why these three write and play the way they do and how they developed their personal styles. Guggenheim wanted the three to open up — and they did. Jimmy Page plays air guitar while listening to music that influenced him as a kid, Jack White writes an original song on camera, and The Edge talks about how he drives everyone crazy trying to get the music in his head to come out of the amps. The movie brings the three together on a soundstage to share stories, show one another their songs, and play. Nerve spoke with Guggenheim about the men behind the legends. — Emily Wilson You won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth. After that, why did you choose to do a movie about the electric guitar? I just make movies about people that fascinate me. The next one could be about an archeologist or I don’t know, a proctologist.

    Over to You 2003/2004 Remember This Song? Programnr:31495ra5 REMEMBER THIS SONG? A 2003 Musical Quiz Manus: Claes Nordenskiöld Producent: Claes Nordenskiöld Sändningsdatum: 19/11, 2003 Längd: 14’51 Music: Eminem “Lose Yourself ” Claes Nordenskiöld: Welcome to Remember This Song? – the yearly program that gives you a chance to remember a few of the hits of the past year – A 2003 Musical Quiz. What you heard in the opening was of course Eminem in “Lose Yourself ” from the soundtrack to the movie “8 Mile”. Now, whatever kind of music you like, whether it’s hip-hop, heavy metal, rock or pop, there’ll hopefully be something for you in this program – because there’s so much good music out there. You need a piece of paper and a pencil. I’m looking for a name with 11 letters, which make up the answer. Just write the numbers 1 to 11 on the left-hand side of your paper. And as always, I will play parts of several songs. Each part is a clue to the answer. The clues may be the title of a song, the name of a group or a singer, and so on. You may not be able to answer every single question, but you’ll still have a chance to get the final answer, which I’ll give, at the end of the show. So, let’s get started with the clue for number 3. The members of Outlandish have different ethnic backgrounds – Morocco, Pakistan and Honduras. But the band really comes from Denmark. For number 3, I’m looking for the title of their first super-hit.

    - 88 - AND THE BY WILLIAM GIRALDI I It was winter in Nashville, Tennessee, and I felt peculiar in my clothes, wondering if a Red Sox cap would be welcome here. I’d just flown in from Boston at the behest of my wife, rented a car, then went the wrong way on Interstate 40. I was on a pilgrimage to Jack White’s headquarters, Third Man Records, on 7th Avenue, but I didn’t know I could circumvent the city to get there, so I crawled through it, down Broadway and past all those honkytonks, those incandescent barbecues selling you a cardiac catastrophe. I’d recently tried quitting meat. I’d recently tried quitting Jack White too. - 89 - A two-building black complex with and White Blood Cells and Elephant. I drove three bay doors (one yellow, one red, one half an hour to the Princeton Record Ex- blue), Third Man Records squats in what II change to rummage for rare European and seems an industrial complex, across from Asian editions. And I soon felt entire quad- the vast parking lot behind the Nashville rants in me begin to shift. Rescue Mission.

It debuted on their fourth studio album, Elephant, and was released by XL Recordings and V2 Records in March 2003 as the lead single, through 7-inch vinyl and CD formats. Written and produced by Jack White, the song consists of distorted vocals, a simple drum rhythm and a bass-like riff created by playing guitar through the step-change effect.

In addition to praising his riff and drumbeat, critics rated Seven Nation Army as one of the best songs of the 2000s decade. It won Best Rock Song at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, and the music video for director Alex and Martin's song won Best Editing in a Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
