Eminem’s Producers Suing Car Dealership Over Use Of ‘Lose Yourself’
Eminem’s producers are taking legal action against a car dealership for allegedly using the iconic rapper’s hit song “Lose Yourself” in one of their commercials without permission. The producers, Dr. Dre and Jeff Bass, are seeking unspecified damages and an injunction to stop the dealership from continuing to use the song.
According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the producers claim that they have never licensed the song to the dealership, and that its use in the commercial is a violation of their rights. The lawsuit also alleges that the dealership failed to properly clear the song for use, and that its use is causing harm to the producers’ reputation and goodwill.
The producers are seeking a jury trial and are asking the court to award them damages, as well as an injunction to stop the dealership from continuing to use the song. The lawsuit also seeks an award of attorney’s fees and costs.
The case is the latest in a series of high-profile lawsuits over the use of popular music in advertising. In recent years, several artists and producers have taken legal action against companies that have used their music without permission, often seeking significant damages and injunctive relief.
