Beastie Boys Sue Chili's Owner Over Unauthorized Use of 'Sabotage' in Social Media Ads
Jul 12, 2024, 12:40 AM
The Beastie Boys have filed a lawsuit against Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's, in Manhattan federal court. The lawsuit alleges that Brinker used the group's iconic 1994 hit song 'Sabotage' in promotional videos and social media ads without obtaining the necessary permissions. The band claims this unauthorized use infringes on their copyrights and violates trademark rights. Additionally, the lawsuit cites provisions in the will of Adam 'MCA' Yauch, a member of the Beastie Boys, which explicitly prohibits the use of their music in advertisements.
