Beastie Boys to Girls: Get Your Own Damn Song
Latest
The Beastie Boys are threatening to sue GoldieBlox because the toy company used a parody of the Beastie Boys’ song Girls in their awesome video showing little girls using an enormous Rube Goldberg contraption to turn off a shitty princess TV ad. Along with Universal Music, the Beastie Boys sent a letter to GoldieBlox threatening a copyright infringement claim. GoldieBlox decided to strike first, and has filed for a declaratory judgment in California, saying that their version is a parody and it’s protected fair use.
