This is so wrong

Beastie Boys sued days after band mate's death

Rap group the Beastie Boys have been hit with a lawsuit just days after the death of band member Adam Yauch.

Music label Tuf America has reportedly submitted a lawsuit against the hip-hop group alleging the band illegally sampled Trouble Funk's Say What and Drop The Bomb on four of their early tunes - The New Styleand Hold It, Now Hit It from their 1986 debut album Licensed to Ill, andCar Thief and Shadrach from their 1989 follow up record Paul's Boutique.

According to AllHipHop.com, the lawsuit was submitted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 3, one day before Adam - also known as MCA - died at the age of 47 after battling cancer in his parotid gland and a lymph node since 2009.

Tuf America claims to have completed a sound analysis of the four tracks before filing the lawsuit, which also names Beastie Boys' label Capitol Records as a defendant, and the company is seeking a trial to determine the amount of damages to claim.

It took Tuf America 26 years to notice what they consider illegal sampling of some unknown person's music and to submit a lawsuit.

Really...26 years...<---is where my question mark SHOULD be.

Who the heck are "Trouble Funk" anyway...

If i thought someone had stolen something off of me and subsequently made a boat load of money out of it - i think i would act a bit quicker.

Lawyers must love this stuff.
