Two weeks ago the auction date was set for Damon Dash's court ordered sell-off of his shares of Roc-A-Fella records [click here if you missed that].
In the meantime Jay Z has filed a legal notice asserting his claim on the company's biggest asset...
From TMZ
TMZ Hip Hop has learned Jay's attorneys just made a legal filing that might normally fly under the radar, but here's why it's suddenly very relevant. As we first reported, Dame's third of Roc-A-Fella is going up for auction later this month, and the label's only real asset is Jay-Z's 1996 album, "Reasonable Doubt."
While Roc-A-Fella currently holds the copyright on the record and all its tracks ... Jay's attorneys have now filed notice that those rights will revert to one Shawn Carter/"Jay-Z" in 2031.
Even though Jay and Dame ain't exactly vibing these days, this legal move isn't about revenge, it's just biz -- the rights would have gone back to Jay 35 years after the record was released, anyway. His lawyers have just filed the paperwork to make it official.
