Remember our post last week about Audi’s new advertisement for the 2012 A6 Avant featuring a music score very similar to the one in Eminem’s top-selling track ‘Lose Yourself’? Yes, the same track famously used, with permission from the rap star, in Chrysler’s original Imported From Detroit ad for the 200 Sedan, which featured during this year’s Super Bowl. The last we heard Eminem’s publisher Eight Mile Style was seeking an injunction against Audi in Germany's Hamburg Regional Court. Turns out Eminem, through his publisher, has now filed a...
