In the will and testament of Adam Yauch (aka, the late MCA), he is abundantly clear about the intentions of the Beastie Boys music. He states, "�notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for advertising purpose."

Much like the Robin Thicke/Marvin Gaye fiasco, Goldieblox decided to stand up for itself and sue the Beastie Boys estate first, in anticipation of a suit from them. In response to this, Beastie Boys members Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz wrote an open letter.

"�As creative as it is, make no mistake, your video is an advertisement that is designed to sell a product, and long ago, we made a conscious decision not to permit our music and/or name to be used in product ads�When we tried to simply ask how and why our song 'Girls' had been used in your ad without our permission, YOU sued US."

And now, GoldieBlox has taken down the video, and responded with their own open letter, stating that they will be willing to put down their swords if Beastie Boys put down theirs. As of now, Beastie Boys have not responded to the accord, however it seems that everyone has gotten what they wanted.

Like entertainment and intellectual property lawyer John Seay told us, "Sure, they might have really believed that their use of the song was a fair use. Or, they might have figured that, worse case, they get sued, or threatened with suit, and the press picks up on it and raises the profile of the company and gets the commercial seen by many more people."
