I'm curious why the company didn't attempt to contact the band before using their song claiming Fair Use. It seems obvious that the Beasties aren't against the message of the commercial or campaign, but it is their intellectual property, and MCA's last will prevents use of their compositions in commercials. Monster Energy had the same thing happen to them in the same circumstance when they used Sabotage.
