Re: Beastie Boys sued over ‘Licensed to Ill’ and ‘Paul’s Boutique’ samples
Well I'm no lawyer but that makes no fucking sense at all.
How can interpretations of the law go back in time and punish works that were made before said interpretations were even considered?
It was my understanding that Paul's Boutique was the impetus for changing the interpretation of the law in the first place, again, after the fact.
The copyright suits there Beasties have been involved in all were based off of post-Paul's Boutique material (i.e. Pass the Mic 2003).
