If I’m not mistaken he has a controlling stake in The Police’s recordings too
Was he in a good mood that day?
If Sting Charges An Arm And A Leg For Publishing (Puffy & Juice World) Then How Did These Two Get Over?…

didnt Diddy and Juice Wrld try to pull a fast one and not even clear the sample at first?
Maybe im wrong but that could be it.

I believe you are correct
lol did then cam's and nas' team probably just asked earlier enough.
idk, the weeknd's kiss land sampled silky johnson's desert rose
which in reality is a distorted vocal sample of sting's desert rose (of the same name, snitching on yourself lmao)
and their team got away with it by just paying the producer and not sting or crediting sting

This is so stupid I’d need Puff himself to explain the logic. There’s no statute of limitations to sue

They probably had to give up 100 percent of their publishing too
Spidey Man
Superstar
From what I understand puff put it out without getting it cleared first because he wanted to get it out quickly following Big's passing and didn't want to wait. Cam and Nas got it approved before.
Sting apparently doesn't have a problem with people sampling his music as long as they get his approval

If you put the song out before clearing the sample and the song is a hit then of course he's going to take all the publishing. You have no leverage in that case.
Of course they made money which is why they cleared the samples.
He was
Some artists (the smartest ones) see music for what it’s really is - promotion and a stepping stone to something much more lucrative.
its not that stupid though. It only even looks bad decades later. The money wasn’t made from owning the song, the money was made from touring and that song helping turn Puffy into an even bigger superstar. It helped him tour internationally. He was more concerned with getting the record out there quickly than anything else.

You don’t get what I’m saying. It was stupid to try and pull a fast one and take a major song from one of the biggest artists of the previous decade like nobody would notice since you didn’t want to pay

Sting didn’t charge an arm and a leg for sample clearance. Puff and Juiceworld did dirty business and it backfired on them. All they had to do was give that man his money.
Sting did exactly what he was entitled to do.
