You think havin' money is the answer?
Money ain't nothin' but another form of cancer
All you could do is watch me die
You don't wanna watch me cry, so watch me fly!
What you gon' do is watch me fly
Do my thing on that big stage in the sky


:mjcry:


That’s why I liked the song, nobody making music like this now.

Judge Rules in DMX Estate’s Favor in Copyright/IP Ownership Lawsuit

The DMX Estate secures a victory in an ongoing lawsuit challenging their sole ownership of the late rapper’s copyright and IP rights
.

DMX’s estate has secured a major victory in an ongoing lawsuit that challenges the estate’s sole ownership of the late rapper’s copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights.

The judge issued a decision and order on Monday (April 7) that rejects the claims by DMX’s ex-wife, Tashera Simmons, that she co-owned his IP rights accrued during their marriage and is entitled to 50% of all revenue generated.

The decision reinforces that the estate, represented by Kurzman Eisenberg Corbin & Lever, LLP and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, is the sole owner of all such rights. Tashera Simmons’ rights, therefore, are limited to a portion of record and music publishing royalties generated by musical works that her former husband released during their marriage.

[The Estate] is the sole owner of all intellectual property rights (including all copyrights and trademark rights) that [DMX] acquired during his marriage to [Simmons], as well as any and all trademarks and intellectual property rights that belonged to [DMX] at the time of his death; except as specifically set forth in five Letters of Direction signed by [DMX],” wrote Judge David F. Everett.
“[Simmons] has no income interest and is not otherwise entitled to any monies of any kind generated by or attributed to services rendered by [DMX], and/or to copyrights and trademark rights […] acquired during his marriage to Plaintiff.”
