Jack White to sue London gallery over Billy Childish poster

Jack White is reportedly to sue a London gallery over a poster depicting an imaginary boxing match between him and Billy Childish, which Lawyers for The White Stripes say infringes their intellectual property.

Talking of pop feuds, Jack White is apparently to sue a London art gallery displaying some of Billy Childish's work including a 'tribute poster' to the pair's previously reported verbal altercation stemming from Childish's comments about The White Stripes' music in a GQ interview. The print depicts an imaginary boxing match between 'Bitter 'Billy' Childish' and 'Jack 'Whingy' White'.

Lawyers for the White Stripes are saying that the poster violates the bands intellectual property, or something. Gallery owner Steven Lowe said: "It was just a bit of fun but these people don't seem to have a sense of humour... I've written to the White Stripes management to see exactly what copyright we're infringing."
