Sticking It To The Man From Beyond The Grave

flyswatter

The late Adam Yauch-- aka Beastie Boys'
MCA-- took care to ensure his legacy as a
true punk before he died. DNAInfo reports
that his will prohibits the use of Beastie Boys
songs in advertisements, which happens
often with deceased artists. It's a pretty bold
move that cements Yauch's ideological
reputation, considering the amount of money
there is to be made by corporations likely
desperate to use the Beastie Boys' trademark
sound in their commercials.
Yauch's will was filed on Tuesday in a
Manhattan Surrogate Court, and places his
entire fortune in a $6.4 million trust for his
wife and daughter. He's allowed his wife the
right to sell and/or manage his art. Still, it's
possible the surviving two Beastie Boys will
be able to sell their collective music to
advertisers. How cool is that? Hes had the last laugh!

Why would he care about how much money he could make from ads when he's dead?
