Spring Boot won't start on port 80

Spring Boot starts fine on the default 8080 port. Whenever I try to set the port to 80 in application.properties or using a command line argument I get the error below. Setting the port to, say 9000, works fine. Any ideas?

you want to access an privileged port as an unprivileged user? have you tried running this as root on unix?
