White Stripes lawsuit?

2008-02-11 by cometuesday | 19 Comments
The White Stripes have become the subject to a lawsuit concerning a 10 second clip borrowed from a former Radio-Canada host. In the Stripes' 2000 record, De Stijl, the clip is placed as an introduction to the track "Jumble Jumble" and features ex-radio host Dominique Payette, who does not listen to "garage rock" and has only recently become aware of her presence on the record. Thusly, Payette is seeking $70,000 in "damages" and aims to halt the production and sales of the record.

ALL guitarists are overrated.

as for the lawsuit,if i am correct she has no legal rights to the clip sense the clip wouold be owned by the company.

the only reason she would win is if someone felt she has a legal right to the useage of her voice. as far as i know,she doesn't. it could go either way.

Hmm, I think the White Stripes can spare $70k. Don't you?

In terms of right/wrong the band should have asked permission.

And just for the record, I like 'garage rock' :P

umm if everyone says that he's overrated then who's the ones rating him high? wouldn't with all the people saying he's no good even it out so that he becomes "normal rated"? just a thought...

I think Jack, while not necessarily spectacular, is inventive, kind of like Daron Malakian.

Yeah he's so overrated...I hate talented singer-songwriters who bringing classic rock and blues influences to the mainstream! And I especially hate the ones who remain consistent...and even create a second band that is equally as good.

You guys would be bitching about how bad The Beatles were and how overrated Harrison was if this site was around in the 60's. Go stand in your shadow and listen to the cool music no one knows about!

Jack White's good at what he does but I agree he's over-rated.

Jack White isn't overrated, he's more of songwriter than just a guitarits. He's this generation's Dylan
