Jay-Z Files Claim For "Reasonable Doubt'' Master Rights Ahead Of August 29th Auction

[Pop123]

What's stopping Jay from sending someone to go bid on his behalf and finally get what's his earlier than the 6 year wait?

I was thinking the same thing. There must be some sort of stipulation that would prevent something like that, I’d hope. If not Dame is crazy lol.

If someone buys it for a million and it’s theirs, they can sell it to Jayz for 1.1 million and it’s his, . They can give it to him for free if they want, . He shoulda just sold it to Jayz, Jayz would’ve probably paid him more just for the gesture of him being willing to sell it to him

This dude here lol

You two are literally the same people so idk why you laughing

 

[Formerly known as...]

This makes it damn near worthless. Releasing this info now is a chess move. Nobody bidding high on this knowing that once you own it you can't do anything with it without the approval of Jay anyway and then in 6 years it's all his

Jay gonna end up paying Dame and this shyt is going to finally be over

Paying Dame's daddy** The man Dame tried to steal a movie from

35 years is the standard timeline as enacted per the Copyright Act of 1976. The law went in effect as of the beginning of 1978. Before 1978, artists could only recover their masters after 56 years, had they not done so already.

This is basically educating, or re-educating, the buyers on what to expect.

There must be loopholes in this right? Or like an option to sign away that right. Cause how would it otherwise work with all these funds buying up artists rights? Some of them like 60 years old. Or is it like a long maturity bond, you can buy it an own it for 35 years.

I've always thought Nas and Big > Jay. I rock with RD the most out of Jay's catalog though. It sold what it sold/still went gold if im not mistaken. Jay wasnt a major player like that though simply due to Nas and Big being around.

Jay definitely benefited from them being gone and Nas not wanting the spot…

RD was a good album but folks had to go back and revisit it thanks to Vol 1.



It finally went Plat in 2002.


Jay must have took the “treat everything like your first project” advice from Biggie literally.


Vol 1 has its moments despite the shiny suit influence.
