Beastie Boys Lawsuit on Copyright Infringement Filed
Record label TufAmerica filed a legal complaint accusing the Beastie Boys of stealing its artist's music on their two biggest albums "Licensed to Ill" and "Paul's Boutique".
The record label claims MCA, Mike D and Ad-Rock ripped off the '80s band Trouble Funk and illegally sampled their music on multiple songs featured on the said albums.
In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in NY on May 3, TufAmerica claims the Beastie's sampled a famous drum beat from the Trouble Funk hit "Drop the Bomb" on the 1986 hit "The New Style."
TufAmerica also claims the Beatie's stole riffs from the song on "Car Thief" and "Hold It Now Hit It" and also ripped off the Trouble Funk track "Say What" on the song "Shadrack."
TufAmerica claims it has "never received royalties or payment" for any of the songs ever.
