Copyright Cases

In this case the car company Audi used copyrighted music from Eminem's song " lose yourself " to advertise their newest car. Once Eminem's music publisher ( Eight Mile Style LLC ) claimed it copyrighted Audi's Response was "the protection of intellectual property has always been an important part of Audi's company philosophy. Audi therefore respects Eminem's creative work and the Chrysler advertising campaign."

The result of the lawsuit was Eminem winning, but the exact amount was not announced publicly but Eight Mile said they were satisfied with Audi's commitment and praised their generosity.
