The Black Keys have shown just how cocky they really are by filing suit against Home Depot and Pizza Hut. They claim the two brands have been ripping off their music. The federal lawsuits say that Home Depot used elements of “Lonely Boy” without the band’s permission to sell power tools.

Both Home Depot and Pizza Hut deflected comments, simply saying they respect intellectual property rights.
