pretty ironic that it was about 15 seconds of intro/skits and not a sample
it was a risky thing to do, you would think
Sony would have cleared it before it dropped the record.looks like old head can win up to 150k in a re-trial, not bad for something you did 50 years ago
THAT'S WHAT THE FUKK I WAS SAYING TO MYSELF...why ISN'T SONY BEING HELD LIABLE FOR THIS SHYT!!!!
Sony like every major label has a Legal Department that deals strictly with the clearance and licenscing of samples.......
I mean for Christ sakes..it's a damn MARVEL PICTURES composition....why in the hell would you NOT try to clear and pay for it's usuage
How the fukk they get a pass is beyond my comprehension
The default judgment does not apply to Sony, so the claims against Sony remain to be litigated."
that ain't right
You come after this "poor" rapper...and I do mean poor litearly..homie couldn't even afford to pay his own lawyer and is basically surviving off of reality show checks.....and although him and his producer creatively chose this sample of work....THE RECORD COMPANY SONY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIER CLEAR INVOLVEMENT IN THIS MISHANDLING OF THIS AFFAIR...
Pathetic.......that's why I can't stand how the Judicial System and Corporate America work hand in hand to basically fukk over the common folk
