A German-language video for the 2012 Audi A6 Avant has drawn a lawsuit from Eminem's publishing company, which says the music in the video was taken without permission from Em's "Lose Yourself," which
is also the soundtrack to the ad Eminen did for the Chrysler 200, which debuted during the Super Bowl
His company Eight Mile Style filed a civil action last week in a Hamburg Regional
Court in Germany, seeking a "cease-and-desist" against Audi.
According to Yahoo! Music, a U.S. spokesman for Audi responded to the lawsuit saying the video that has sparked the debate
is not a commercial and has not been shown in the U.S. The spokesman told the website that because of the legal nature of the matter, he could not comment further.
