White Stripes Charge Air Force Reserves With Copyright Infringement
By Jeffrey Hyatt
The Air Force Reserves versus The White Stripes. Who ya got?
In a statement posted on the Third Man Records website, The White Stripes have charged the Air Force Reserves with copyright infringement regarding the song “Fell In Love With A Girl,” which the Stripes, their label and their management claim was used without permission whatsoever for a TV advertisement that aired during the Super Bowl.
Click below for Third Man’s statement.
We believe our song was re-recorded and used without permission of the White Stripes, our publishers, label or management.
The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve’s presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support.
We have not licensed our song to the Air Force Reserve and we plan to take strong action to stop the ad containing this music.
