You sound ignorant to the ways creative works are copyrighted. It has nothing to do with "depriving" anyone of anything and entirely of being in control of the works you put out in the world. There is a huge difference between physical property and intellectual property and you're using the justifications behind the former to justify breaking the rules of the latter.
It isn't about the Beastie Boys losing profit, it's about the Beastie Boys not agreeing with the use of their music in this way, and the defending company trying to paint it in the light of parody (which is, in my opinion, legit.) Again, you're confusing theft of a physical object and theft of an intellectual property.
I feel the major point being lost here is that they are denying the rights to the song to a corporation using their parody to sell product. I have total faith they would've worked out a deal if it was made by a non-profit they support or something similar.
So you're saying anyone should be able to use anyone else's creative works in any way they see fit? Because it isn't a limited physical object?
Artists need protections against misuse. While the attitude and "moral" of the commercial might be empowering, it's still using someone else's creative work in an unapproved way for personal commercial gain. That is exactly the kind of thing creative copyrights exist to stop.
Or high as shit. We had an art teacher that we joked about always being stoned when I was in high school, and having talked to two of my favorite teachers almost two decades later, they have confirmed he was indeed a huge, huge pothead and was probably stoned more than once at school. As if we really needed confirmation - we watched 20 minutes of Tron every Friday the entire semester I had him. It was a highlight of the week.
I love Tyler, and I'm glad to see him repping Behind the Front. Will really used to display a huge amount of talent and absolutely is the current industry poster boy for "sellout" - make disposable pop music in exchange for dollars, nevermind that you used to be a socially conscious hip-hop group with huge potential. Joints and Jam is one of the first hip-hop songs I ever fell in love with.
She is a total joke. This is one of her best songs and it's just okay. She's a bigoted piece of trash who has more beef than records in her extremely short career.
I think this is the only video Pharrel hasn't been in when he featured on the song. Like, ever.
She is a shitty, bigoted person who can't keep to a release schedule - why do we hype her music again? Let's fucking move on from this trashbag, please.
I am so sick of her bullshit.
1. She acts like she's hip-hop royalty because she had one semi-mainstream hit.
2. She is a bigot who decided to redefine what "faggot" meant for me and the whole gay community so that she could continue to use it to make people feel like shit without any consequences.
3. She is a misogynist who attacks women when they don't do what she wants them to.
4. Twitter beefs! So many beefs! F'ing please!
