Fighting for their rights is nothing new to the Beastie Boys.

This week, it landed them a $1.7 million victory in a copyright infringement case. The group sued Monster Energy drink in 2012. Monster had admitted wrongly using five Beastie Boys songs in an online video for several weeks. According to Rolling Stone, the list included “Sabotage,” “So Watcha Want,” “Make Some Noise,” and “Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun.” However, the beverage maker insisted it should owe no more than $125,000.

A Manhattan federal court jury returned their verdict after a day of deliberations. They awarded the two surviving members $120,000 for each of 10 violations of copyright. They also awarded an additional $500,000, after finding that Monster used the bands’ persona without permission, suggesting a false endorsement.

The eight-day trial featured testimony from Horovitz and bandmate Michael “Mike D” Diamond, who also attended the trial most days. Another member of the band, the gravelly-voiced rapper Adam “MCA” Yauch, died in May 2012 at age 47 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer.

According to the other members, Yauch left instructions in his will ordering, “In no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for advertising purposes.”

Group member adam “ad-rock” horovitz made a statement saying he’s happy about the decision and thanks the jury. The Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. In the last three decades, they have created four number one albums, selling more than 40 million records.

A spokesperson for the company says it disagrees with the verdict and plans to appeal.
