The publisher of Eminem’s song copyrights, Eight Mile Style has filed an injunction against German automaker, Audi AG.
The publisher is taking action after Audi used Eminem’s 2002 trackLose Yourself in a website commercial for a 2012 Audi sedan.
One of the principals at Eight Mile Style, Joel Martin told the New York Post he is shocked that he was not approached for a licence to use the rapper’s track.
“No one has approached us for a license. I still can’t believe it. There is something strange about it,” said Martin.
Earlier this year, Eminem allowed the very same track to be used by auto company, Chrysler for an Imported From Detroit ad campaign spot during Super Bowl XLV. Martin said in a statement that Eight Mile Style believes Audi’s ad has disturbing similarities to the Chrysler advertisement.
“It is absolutely shocking. We believe Audi not only used Lose Yourself to sell their product without permission, but their spot actually feels inspired by elements of Chrysler’s commercial campaign.”
The case is being handled by German copyright expert, Thomas Schmitz who also made a statement.
“We have made the [Hamburg] Regional Court aware of the serious implications of this matter,” said Schmitz. “We have requested a cease and desist order and will also seek damages.”
