Beastie Boys Sue Monster Energy, Round 2

After successfully winning a $1.7 lawsuit against Monster Energy Drink for unlawfully using their songs, the Beastie Boys lawyers are going back to court to get the energy drink manufacturers to pay the $2.5 million they racked up in legal fees from the initial lawsuit. Page Six reports that after a jury awarded the money seven months ago, the lawyers are going back to court because they assert that Monster dragged out the initial proceedings instead of settling, which ultimately drove up the costs.
