The remaining Beastie Boys Mike Diamond, Adam Horovitz and the
late Adam Yauch's widow, Denchen, filed suit this past Wednesday against Monster
Energy Drink for copyright infringement. The suit alleges that Monster Energy
Drink used a number of Beastie Boys songs without their permission in a
promotional video on their website. The will of the late Adam Yauch which was
filed this week in Manhattan Surrogate court reads:
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event may my
image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for
advertising purposes".
The late Great MCA
once rapped that he wouldn’t “sell my
songs for no TV ad.” so I think it's
kind of fitting that even after he has left us he is still fighting for what he
believes in.
