Jay-Z Has Signed Roc Nation To A Global Publishing Deal With WHO ???
“Big Pimpin’ much ??? Jay-Z signed himself as well as Roc Nation over to Warner/Chappell Music. So, now, Jigga man and Jon Platt are ‘partners’ if you’ll say, since he’s working for the company now. Warner/Chappell Music will have the right to past && future recordings. What do you think ??? Some are saying that this was the wrong move for Jigga to make and, there has to be some underlying motive. “Selling Out” or not? I think, ‘how much’ is what I really want to know. Drop down bottom for Jay’s statement.
Copyright Lawsuit Over Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin'” Headed To Trial
A federal judge ruled earlier this month that a lawsuit brought against Jay-Z by an Egyptian man over his hit single Big Pimpin’ needs to go to trial to settle certain issues. The man sued Jay in 07 for using a sample of his uncle’s song in the track, of which he owns the copyright to. This was in fact true, however, Jay successfully filed a motion to have the Copyright Act’s statute of limitations limit the amount of potential damages because Fahmy knew about the infringement prior to 2000, but waited to file. Messy! Details below. Marisa Mendez
