As reported by BET, Eminem filed a lawsuit against German car company, Audi, for copyright infringement after the company used his Oscar-winning song “lose Yourself” in its commercial advertisement. In addition to the alleged unlicensed use of the song, Joel Martin, a spokesperson for Eminem’s company Eight Mile Style, said, "We believe Audi not only used "Lose Yourself" to sell their product without permission, but their spot actually feels inspired by elements of Chrysler's commercial campaign.”
