The original was really good. Great song too. The Audi Ad
clearly looks like a very transparent rip off to me. Hope
Marshall takes them to the cleaners!

Just because Audi can build cars doesn't mean they can steal creativity...

Their latest argument? This video is not an advertisement!

I saw that too. I was looking if maybe MR Mathers himself sampled music for his song 'lose yourself', which might give Audi a leg to stand on.....but I have found nothing so far


if its Eminems ORIGINAL creation,, they are gonna have to pay up.

it reminds me of when huey lewis was able to sue ray parker jr for ripping his music off to make 'ghostbusters'

perhaps audi will settle out of court too?

It wouldn't matter if it was BMW, Mazda, Porsche, Ferrari, Toyota..just let it be..Chrysler sucks the big ones when it comes to cars.

No, it's clearly different, similar? Yes, but different.

odd how thats nowhere in their stated defense then huh?


its a strong case of 'sampling' , one artist expounds upon what another artist already did
similar to

the similarity isnt as BLARING , but janet gave credit to lyn collins because of the BASE rhythm she used from Lyns song,,,

I guess it's like the Vanilla Ice and Queen debate.

I see what you mean now, thanks for the example.

But I would think Freddie's alternate way of living would have turned you away, no matter if he was a great composer or not (which I agree, he was).

I dont have anything against gay people, and a good musician is a good musician(Their personal life has nothing to do with whether their music is good, in my opinion)
