The latest in the “Girlsâ€-Goldieblox saga: the Beastie Boys have sued the toy company for “a systematic infringement of intellectual property.†The suit claims that the GoldieBlox ad — which uses a parodied version of the band’s 1987 song “Girls,†and was removed from the Internet last month — is not fair use and that the company continues to benefit from “the Beastie Boys’ perceived affiliation.†You kind of knew this was coming.
