50 Cent and Dr. Dre are being sued by music producer over hit song, ‘P.I.M.P.’

[Kool]

I thought Mr. Porter did this.

He did.

 

[Mac Casper]

Receipts?

Look up copyright laws on phonograph recordings

 

[H.J.Duck]

Produced by Mr. Porter and mixed by Dre, yet he sues Dre (&50) 13 years after the album was released.... surely this has nothing to do with the fact that Dre almost became a billionaire a year or two ago.....

 

[MikeyC]

He did.

He said that he made a couple changes here and there, but that Brandon bloke actually made the beat.

 

[blackzeus]

nikkas be remembering when they got jerked when they broke already

He got paid and the money ran out so he's try to put them on blast to squeeze more cash out of Dre, I doubt Fif even knew, he probably assumed like everybody else that Dre was doing his own beats

 

[General Mills]

Look up copyright laws on phonograph recordings

Looks like it's a three year SOL.
It gets complicated as to when the SOL starts to run and what damages can be collected.

There are two distinct statutes of limitations listed under modern copyright law—criminal proceedings and civil actions. Under Title 17 Section 507:

(a) Criminal Proceedings.—Except as expressly provided otherwise in this title, no criminal proceeding shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within 5 years after the cause of action arose.

(b) Civil Actions.—No civil action shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within three years after the claim accrued.

In other words, criminal prosecution for copyright infringement extends to five years, civil prosecution is limited to three.

Statute of Limitations Tolls

Under copyright law, the statute of limitations tolls, or begins running, when the infringement is discovered. So, if someone republished your work as their own six years ago, but you just discovered it, you can still sue for copyright infringement. However, the issue is then raised as to the amount of damages you can collect.

The general rule is that the statute of limitations starts from the date of the last infringing act. However, the courts are divided as to how this applies. Some courts hold that you can recover your damages for the entirety of the infringement so long as a lawsuit is filed within 3 years of the last infringing act; others limit damages to those acts which occurred within the three years leading up to the lawsuit.

Much longer than that, if you haven't registered the copyright within 5 years than you can still sue but the burden of proof falls on you rather than the person you're suing

There's two types of copyrights involved in a song

The writing / composition - aka mechanical m

The sound recording - aka "the master"

 

[Chip Skylark]

Is there a statute of limitations on this?

Why the fukk didnt he sue a long time ago then lol

No sir Led Zeppelin is in the process of getting sued for Stairway to Heaven and it was released in the early 70s

I think you are confusing the length of copyright protection and the statute of limitations for bringing a copyright infringement action.
