Jay-Z And Kanye West Sued For Stealing Music From Legendary R&B Singer

Jay-Z

Once again, rapper Jay-Z is smack dab in the middle of another copyright infringement lawsuit, continuing to show he has no respect for other people's property rights. Nearly two dozen copyright infringement lawsuits and claims exist against the greedy rapper, whose unintelligence, ignorance and profound lack of talent, unethically lead him to constantly steal the protected and registered intellectual property of others. The mere fact he is stealing says he is a fraud, who should not be famous.

This time Jay-Z has ripped off the 1967 song "Different Strokes" by legendary, 75-year-old soul singer, Syl Johnson, for illegal use on his latest CD with fellow thieving rapper Kanye West entitled "Watch The Throne." This arrogance and absence of creativity is so appalling. As stated before, copyrights are property, just like one's house or car. Can you imagine if someone stole Jay-Z or Kanye West's house or car and how angry they would be. Knowing them, they would resort to illegal violence. Yet they believe it perfectly fine to steal other people's property. Jay-Z's wife Beyonce is no better. This has got to change.

Industry Of Thieves Pt 2.

Syl Johnson

73-year-old blues musician, Syl Johnson, began his career in the 1960's and released many albums over the course of 50 years.

He recently filed a series of lawsuits against several stars such as Michael Jackson, Jefferson Airplane and numerous rappers, for infringing his preexisting copyrighted music.

Jackson, among others, settled the lawsuits, paying him for using his preexisting copyrighted music without permission. However, it once again proves, Hollywood is an industry of thieves.

Look how many people robbed this man, who paid his dues for decades, yet all these artists were ripping off his works, because they felt they could do so. There are other artists who have been robbed in this manner as well.
