The
main conservative party from New Zealand was found guilty because it
used the song of the renowned rapper Eminem "Lose Yourself" in his
campaign. ... The use of Eminem's song occurred during the 2014 election campaign in New Zealand
Judge of the High Court, Helen Kul, said on Wednesday that the National Party would have to pay the publisher EUR 352,000 plus interest. The National Party has published a television advertisement in which 186 times used the song "Lose Yourself" during the 2014 election
The publisher of "Eight Mile Style" sued them, saying that this commercial had damaged a record hit of 2002. This case could also get wider conditions, as other organizations used similar tracks for their commercials.
The judge is the amount the party should pay based on the hypothetical fee for the license the party could pay for the use of the song.
She pointed out that this publishing house rarely gives permission to use the song "Lose Yourself" in advertisements. The national party in its statement stressed that they were disappointed with the decision, according to British online media.
"We bought music from a well-known music production library in Australia, which bought it from an American supplier," said Peter Godfelov, President of the National Party.
He pointed out that the party is considering its next steps and that they have already filed a lawsuit against suppliers and licensees "Eminem Esque".
This verdict comes at a difficult moment for a party from New Zealand, which lost elections in 2017 in a coalition with the Liberal Labor Party.
