Singer Sues ZeniMax / Bethesda for Using His Song in "Repugnant" Fallout 4 Ads

Singer Sues ZeniMax / Bethesda for Using His Song in

Probably by means of a quick money grab, singer Dion DiMucci is suing Zenimax, the mother company behind Bethesda, and the game title involved is Fallout 4. The singer would like a quick cool million.

Dion DiMucci has filed a lawsuit against ZeniMax Media for using his song 'The Wanderer' in several video ads to promote their game. His song The Wanderer was used for what he now claims to be “repugnant and morally indefensible” ads for Fallout 4. According to California state district court documents, DiMucci claims that both parties had agreed to his right to prohibit the company from using his song if he objected to the ads’ content. However, it appears that ZeniMax failed to consult him.

DiMucci argues that if ZeniMax had negotiated with him prior to releasing the ads, he’d have attempted to persuade the company to change the script to remove the violent parts, and instead, depict “a post-apocalyptic struggle for survival without craven violence.” Alternatively, he says, he could have included in his fee “adequate compensation to safeguard himself against the potential loss of goodwill” resulting from his association with the “immoral” content.

DiMucci now wants the ads taken down, and is demanding $1 million in damages as the ads are still online and “their continued presence is an ongoing irreparable injury to the plaintiff.” ZeniMax has yet to respond. Here's what he is filing his million dollar claim to:

It is, his licensing company knew exactly what it was going to be used for and now he waited awhile to get maximum cash in value.

So another music artist trying for a cash grab, well at least he hasn't quite gone as far as Alex Mauer, then again suing Zenimax could be classed as just as mad.

Repugnant... really, did he chose that wording because if it's to add some sort of moral weight to his argument it doesn't work, makes him look more like an idiot because the adverts are many things but I wouldn't use the word 'repugnant'.
