AUDI Denies Using Eminem Song In Advertising

A U.S. spokesperson for Audi has responded to the lawsuit filed in Hamburg Regional Court in Germany by Eight Mile Style LLC, Eminem's publishing company. The German automobile manufacturer is being sued for using an unauthorized sample of Eminem's Academy Award-winning song "Lose Yourself"
from his film "8 Mile."


The Audi spokesperson told Yahoo! Music that the video that has sparked the debate is not a commercial.

"The video referred to is not an advertisement," he said via email. "Also, this does not involve Audi of America. The video was not shown here in the U.S."

The spokesperson added that due to the legal nature of the matter, he could not comment further.
