Beastie Boys Win 'Paul's Boutique' Sampling Lawsuit
. (Radio.com) Robin Thicke couldn't best the Marvin Gaye copyright lawsuit, but the Beastie Boys have won the case against their landmark album, Paul's Boutique. What pushed judgment in their favor? A technicality. THR reports that a U.S. District Court granted the New York group summary judgment over TufAmerica because judge Alison Nathan found that the plaintiff "never acquired an exclusive license to the copyrighted material." It's not a victory for copyright law so much as a legal snafu in which TufAmerica lacked the standing to file this particular lawsuit. Read more details here.
