Beastie Boys Fight Online Video Parody of ‘Girls’; New York Times, 11/25/13
Dave Itzkoff, New York Times; Beastie Boys Fight Online Video Parody of ‘Girls’ :
"GoldieBlox had filed a lawsuit on Thursday that asserted its right to use the music in the video, which has gone viral with more than eight million views. It said in the suit that it “created its parody video specifically to comment on the Beastie Boys song, and to further the company’s goal to break down gender stereotypes.”
But the Beastie Boys, in the letter to GoldieBlox, said the video was essentially part of a commercial enterprise and “an advertisement that is designed to sell a product,” for which the band says it does not allow its music to be used."
