The xx Take Legal Action Against Croatian Organisation

For unlawful use of their music...

The xx have launched legal action against U ime obitelji – a Croatian organisation who have used their music without permission.

Sometimes it's best to let the official statements do the talking…

From The xx:

It has come to our attention that our music has been used without our permission in a promotional advert by the Croatian organisation "U ime obitelji". We wish to state that we didn't, and would never, approve the use of our music by this organisation. To be clear, we unconditionally support the equal right to marriage regardless of sexuality.

From Young Turks:

A Croatian organisation 'U ime obitelji' has illegally used The xx's music in their adverts. The xx didn't, and would never, approve the use of their music by this organisation. Quite obviously, The xx unconditionally support the equal right to marriage regardless of sexuality.

Because of all this, we'll be taking legal action against the group to stop them using the bands music to promote the beliefs of '"U ime obitelji'.

Thanks to everyone that alerted us to this and good luck in the December 1st referendum.
