R. Kelly and Michael Jackson sue Jay-Z
Posted by Brian 
R. Kelly, Michael Jackson and several other music publishers have filed a federal lawsuit against Jay’s 40/40 Club stating that it is engaged in copyright infringement.
A BMI researcher made a surprise visit to the Club in 2006 and found several “unlicensed” songs being played through the sound system. Some of these songs included MJ’s “Billie Jean” and “Don’t Stop,” Kelly’s “Thoia Thoing,” Kanye West’s “Gold Digger” and Omarian’s “Touch.”
Though Jay is not named in the lawsuit, co owner-Desiree Gonzales and Juan Perez are accused of ignoring licensing rules to avoid paying royalties on several songs.
People will sue for anything these days. The royalties off these song selections can’t really be that significant. I could be wrong, GET MONEY
