Re: Beastie Boys sued over ‘Licensed to Ill’ and ‘Paul’s Boutique’ samples

However, if the federal court in this case properly follows the Supreme Court’s ruling, it will apply the injury rule, and not the discovery rule, effectively limiting any potential recovery to new formats/releases of the recordings over the last three years. And TufAmerica would face a significant uphill battle to successfully claim fraudulent concealment since the Beastie Boys’ sampling of Trouble Funk’s recordings has been widely recognized on websites such as whosampled.com.
