‘We’re his family today’: Hundreds gather at Jacksonville National Cemetery to lay veteran with no known family to restBusinessFILE - The Beastie Boys, from left, Adam Yauch, Mike Diamond, and Adam Horovitz arrive at an interview panel during the SXSW Music Festival and Conference in Austin, Texas, Wednesday, March 15, 2006.
The rap group, in a federal case filed Wednesday in New York, alleged Brinker International created a Chili's ad that used significant portions of “Sabotage” and ripped off the song's music video.Brinker International did not immediately return an email seeking comment. The court filings did not list an attorney for Brinker.
Debuting in 1994, “Sabotage” became a huge hit for The Beastie Boys, and its accompanying music video, where the group's three members donned wigs, fake mustaches and sunglasses in a parody of 1970s crime television shows, is one of the most recognizable in the genre. The lawsuit accused Brinker of creating a Chili's social media ad in 2022 that used parts of the song alongside a video of three people wearing 1970's-style disguises stealing ingredients from a Chili's restaurant.
The case was filed by surviving Beastie Boys members Adam Horovitz and Michael Diamond, along with the executor of the estate of Adam Yauch, a band member who died of cancer in 2012.
