Beastie Boys Sue Chili's Over Song Use

News summary

The Beastie Boys have filed a lawsuit against Brinker International, the parent company of Chili's, for allegedly using their song 'Sabotage' without permission in a social media ad resembling the iconic music video, seeking at least $150,000 in damages. The lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court, involves surviving members Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz, along with the executor of Adam Yauch's estate, who prohibited his music from being used in ads. This legal action is not the first time the Beastie Boys have sued for unauthorized music use, having previously won against Monster Energy. Brinker International has not yet commented on the allegations.
