50 Cent Is About To Take Every Dime Rick Ross Made Off His Flopped Album

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Did the group that sued Mac Miller actually win?
That's an important part of this.
I'm also fairly sure 50 Cent was credited.
50 is really just trying to put as many holes in his pockets as possible.

Mac Miller made the song a single with a video and performed it at shows

Rick ross made a typical mixtape song in the tradition of mixtapes. There is no case here... OP is a retard

Be a unit Stan in 2016 brehs

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

ross left 50's fukking parts in the song



that one little mistake COULD cost him 2 million fukking dollars

No it won't. All they can do is take the song down and ross can just call it an unofficial remix which it was.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Lord Finesse sued Mac Miller for the same shyt

Nope

Read above.

 

[El Vato]

sue over rapping over a beat when you made your initial run rapping over other people's beats

leave a rapper's vocals on who you've been beefing with over nearly a half decade




just pure pathetic on both sides but that rozay album fire so im riding that way

yeah and you with 21,798 album buys and that's not even mentioning at least 10k were bought from the label. lol

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Mac settled Iirc

Frank Ocean got sued for singin over someone's shyt on a free mixtape too


you can win that case easily it's just most people aren't petty enough to file a case in the first place

Frank was performing the song at shows. They made him take it off the mixtape which is all that will happen here..

Can't monetize someone else art by performing it for profit or doing what Mac did with a video and single push. YouTube pays for views, concerts pay for performance. Datpiff doesn't pay.

Man coli get it together... It's in the details. These things aren't all the same.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

No it won't. All they can do is take the song down and ross can just call it an unofficial remix which it was.

i'm really done explaining this to y'all

again.... you're super fukking wrong


that's like having child porn... getting a warrant drawn up... then you delete it and pretend it never happened so you can't get arrested....



it's already too late breh

Fif got NO chill. I wonder if he got permission from adelle camp for that hello "remix". Damn near played the whole song with just a couple of "m-m-m maybach music" ad-libs

Lmao at this analogy.

You are wrong from the jump because recording a remix is not illegal so you can't compare it to child porn which is illegal from its inception. Flawed analogy

Putting it on a mixtape is not illegal Most you get is a pull down of your tape. Are we pretending that Ross the first artist to record an unofficial remix on a mixtape?! Are we pretending the acusser doesn't have a history of doing the exact same thing?

Pure comprehension fails in here. Smh at that analogy breh

Ya'll got this nikka looking like blue suede goo

No they took down Hello there was a thread on here about it. Even Universal wasn't as dumb and hoemotional as 50 cent.

Whens the last time 50 won in court? SMS suit lost, baby mother suit lost... He might not be paying but he ain't winning in court. This was yet another loosing case to take on. But stans can't comprehend shyt.

Game Hit With Lawsuit Over Mixtape Beat

50 Cent Sued Over Mixtape Sample

50 Cent Sued Over Infringing Sample; When Will Hip-Hop's Stars Speak Up About Copyright? | Techdirt

Example: If a person broke in to your house and stole your TV and GAVE it tob his best friend you would still take him to court even though he made no profit.

Don't be fooled by "internet paralegal hobbyists". Read up on the law.

http://copyright.gov/circs/circ56a.pdf

It doesn't matter how many copies are made.
Could be 5, could be 500.
Only 2 secs, maybe 2min.
It's not your decision. Sure people do it and slide by. Not because they are right. But because they didn't get caught. Just like DUI. One cop on the i-95 can't stop everyone, but the one guy he catches will pay.

WHY DO THEY CARE EVEN IF YOU GAVE IT AWAY FOR FREE?
-Because you are essentially promoting your career. Each mixtape gives you more visibility.

Visibility = Popularity.
Popularity = Leverage
Leverage = Financial Negotiating Power

Now you're booking shows, getting endorsements, tours and interviews which all create additional streams of income.

So if you "blow up" five years from now it could be argued that the one sample you used on your first mixtape was the reason for your escalation of success.

At the end of the day - if it is at all possible to potentially make money, everyone in the process will want their cut. Even if it's just a dime.

Be Smart - Be Informed

This is some REALLY bad advice.

Here's the real scoop:
If you use copyrighted material without permission, you can be sued. Period. If that copyrighted material was not registered within 3 months of publication, they can only sue you for an injunction and actual damages. In your case, that may equate to an injunction and $0.

But if they registered their copyright within 3 months of publication, they can come after you for statutory copyright damages. Those damages range from $750 to $30,000 per infringement. If the infringement is deemed to be willful, the maximum goes up to $150,000 per infringement.

Yes, the fact that you are using it for a free mix tape can be raised as part of a "fair use" defense, but the fact that you are not profiting WILL NOT prevent you from being sued. So, if you want to risk $150,000 + legal fees...well, that's the territory you're in.

y'all are literally listening to RAPPERS and DJ's about what is copyright law


because a few fools said "for promotional use only" and the multibillion dollar label didn't decide to sue them and start a sue happy war.... instead saying "we won't fukk with your artists if you don't fukk with ours" ........ somehow you fools have got it in your head that it's actual LAW.... when it is NOT



you cannot come steal someone's work.... give it away for free.... then claim it was free, so it's not stealing.... naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah breh.... how does that even sound??


what if you spend 10 years making beats.... i got ahold of the cd you was shopping around, stole all the beats and used them for a "mixtape" and never gave you a dollar or even asked your permission






be serious....


you can say he won't get 2 milly... you can say it's petty... you can ask why everyone isn't suing


but you cannot steal music and think giving it away absolves you of hundreds of years of copyright law






i mean do you fools not remember why mixtapes died off??? it wasn't the internet


it was RIAA/FBI raids on the dj's themselves and pressure to be sued by labels... even tho the rappers themselves were handing them the music and on the damn tapes hosting... even tho they weren't selling them

whoever owns the copyright can shut that shyt the fukk down asap IF THEY WANTED TO

 

[kingdizzy01]

im glad we got thecoli lawyers on deck with all 6 certs to make sense of all this

got muthafukkas in this very thread who went to the law school of rick ross rattlin off shyt they heard in a song with no knowledge of copyright law

50 might be being petty, but its a valid case and def a headache for ricky

Where does it say they were settled.

Game was sued because he obtained the beat for a commercial project and never paid for it. Not the same... Song wasn't a remix or the beat already paid for and in use. Doesn't even say it was settled.

Next case against 50 cent is more similar to this case but yet again a frivolous lawsuit. Ironically if you read the details in the defense of the 50 case his defense was the exact same as mine. Doesn't say that he settled either. You just proving me right breh

Mixtapes died because they were being sold not given away... Some even had bar codes. Details breh. You seem confused or something. When they were doing those mixtape raids it was because they were obtaining music illegally and selling it. You think they raided drama and them for giving away shyt

You're a fukking dummy. Oh man. I'm just gonna save this thread for when the judge doesn't throw it out and allows it to proceed
