Diddy Has Paid Sting $2,000 Per Day for Failing to Clear Sample; Payments End in 2053

[mortuus est]

No, that song led to more opportunities which made him more money.

So THAT song maybe a loss or broke even investment, but it led to more money.

why do people find this so hard to understand?

its one of the reaosn i tell brehs you can still sample, just make sure the rest you make is fore too, dont worry bout being sued, u gon make it

It was either that or catch a refrigerator on the head

the double door stainless, steel joints no security in the world can protect from a refrigerator falling out the sky

Imagine video footage of jada attempting that

This ain’t the first time puffy “ forgot “ to ask for permission. Ready to die had to be reissued in 2005 without the samples he didn’t pay for..I mean forgot to ask for.

machine gun funk doesn’t even sound right on the chorus lol.

that decision was actually some bullshyt though, diddy could've won that case with the use of the fair use doctrine.

Although a fair use issue, Combs and Bad Boy never raised the legal concept of the fair use doctrine in their defense.[9] This decision was questioned by some legal experts: Anthony Falzone of the Fair Use Project at Stanford Law School criticized Combs and Bad Boy for not defending the legality of sampling and suggested that they might have refused to raise such a defense because they feared it could later imperil their control over their own music

[Easy-E]

Bad Boy was way too flagrant with the sample game

[Zero]

Sting ain't doing nothing y'all shouldn't be doing. fukk the dumb shyt.

 

[Calmye]

And Diddy is supposed to be this business genius

 

[Dreamchaser]

People need to recognize that the performer makes the least amount of money from records. The ones who a make a good chunk of the money are the writers and producers.

 

[CountryBoyL]

If I calculated it right he is set to bank around 40 mill since the song released?

 

[JLova]

And Diddy is supposed to be this business genius

How much do you think he made off that song?

 

[50CentStan]

Sting is 1 of the GOAT musicians. His catalog is crazy.
