The Beastie Boys and Universal Music Group have reached a settlement with Chili's parent company, Brinker International, over the alleged unauthorized use of their song and music video's likeness in a 2022 ad.

According to PEOPLE, the settlement was reached outside of court, with Brinker International having until July 7 to dismiss the case. The exact details of the settlement have yet to be revealed.

The lawsuit, filed in July 2024, claimed that the restaurant chain used the Beastie Boys' 1994 song "Sabotage" and reproduced an advertisement that was very similar to the 2002 music video directed by Spike Jonze.

The Beastie Boys alleged that the use of the song and music video's likeness infringed on their ownership of the song, which is protected by the United States Copyright Office.

Adam Yauch, who passed away in 2012, famously included a provision in his will that prohibited the use of his image or name for advertising purposes.

The Beastie Boys have a history of taking the use of their music without their permission seriously, having previously sued the makers of Monster Energy drink for the unauthorized use of their songs "Sabotage," "So What'cha Want," "Make Some Noise," "Pass the Mic," and "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" in a commercial. They were awarded $1.7 million in a settlement in June 2014.
