iPod What ever happened to...

[Sean7512]

Well, this is a very stupid question, but I'm bored so deal with it, haha jk. What happened to that iPod ad that featured Eminem? I do not EVER recall seeing it on tv and I don't think it is on Apple's website anymore. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here is the video...

i saw it on TV a bit. Just like all their older ads, it has been replaced by fresh new material.

That ad was only to stop a lawsuit breaking out between eminem and Apple. Apple wouldn't have advertised their products with him otherwise.

It was shown at Apple's iPod media event last fall and immediately posted to their website. Within hours, they took it down...I believe it had something to do with mistiming of the ad's release with respect to Eminem's album release. It did eventually show up on TV...I saw it numerous times. I'm not sure if they ever reposted it to the website.

Apple was then served with a cease and desist letter from the shoe company Lugz, claiming that Apple copied their concept used in an earlier ad for their shoes. I don't know if anything ever came of that, but the ad eventually just faded away.

Why was there going to be a lawsuit

Why was there going to be a lawsuit

An older iPod ad showed a kid singing along to an Eminem song but Apple somehow "forgot" to get the rights...
