Universal Music Group and American Recordings issued cease and desist letters to white nationalist group Stormfront over their use of Johnny Cash’s “I Won’t Back Down” during their radio broadcasts. According to National Public Radio, UMG and American Recordings allege that Stormfront Radio was “unlawfully exploiting” Cash’s version of the song without the appropriate permission. “Personally (and I believe I can speak for my sisters on this), I am against any organization or individual who believes they are superior to and / or may wish harm upon another because of race, ethnic background, religion or sexual orientation. We also believe in the potential unification of humanity as a whole,” John Carter Cash said in a statement. “We learned this philosophy directly from our father.” “I Won’t Back Down” was originally performed by Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
