The Black Keys file lawsuit against Pizza Hut and Home Depot

The Black Keys file lawsuit against Pizza Hut and Home Depot

Pizza Hut and its ad agency are accused of using the song Gold On The Ceiling without permission, while US DIY chain Home Depot has apparently used the band's hit Lonely Boy.

A lawyer for band said the two commercials were a "brazen and improper effort to capitalise on the plaintiffs' hard-earned success".

They also claim that the band made both brands aware of the unlicensed use of their music last month, but as yet neither company has taken any action.

Pizza Hut, Home Depot and their respective ad agencies are yet to respond.
