Beasti Boy's Adam Yauch Will!!!! Check it. Another reason to love the Beasties.
http://www.forbes.com/sit...-be-valid/
Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch, who died on May 4 of cancer, left instructions that his music couldn’t be used in advertising. But this wording in his will, which he added by hand, may not even be valid. If his heirs try to honor it or enforce it, they could get stuck in months–or years–of legal tangles. Without this provision, Yauch’s 10-page will, filed with the New York Surrogate’s Court in Manhattan on Aug. 6, is relatively straight forward. Yauch left his entire estate, estimated to be worth $6.4 million, to a trust, the terms of which are private. (In contrast, his will is a public document.) He appointed his wife Dechen Yauch as executor. And he included a somewhat creative provision for naming a guardian for their daughter, Tenzin Losel, if she was orphaned. (See “Adam Yauch’s Will Revea...te Dilemma.”) The last line of the will, as his lawyers prepared it, prohibits Yauch’s image or name from being used for advertising purposes—something that celebrities commonly do. But Yauch, who had a reputation for being an iconoclast as one of the members of the most famous and accomplished alternative rock bands, greatly muddied the waters by writing in the words shown here in italics: “in no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for advertising purposes.”

Hopefully it sticks and hopefully hhis family doesnt have to sell things off to pay "legal bills" the only thing worse than corporations trying to sell everything about a dead person, its the blood sucking legal people employed to that job for the corporations and to rape everything from those left behind.

How on Earth did he intend to block all of "his" music when his entire creative output is with a group? That's a legal nightmare in itself. | |

And what about other artists/bands that The Beastie Boys sampled, especially within their first 2 albums?!? | |
