  • Beastie Boys Square Resolution
    Draft of Resolution, Provided to CB3 by Applicant CB3 Beastie Boys Square Resolution Whereas the Beastie Boys were established in July 1981 as part of the Lower East Side’s CBGB punk music scene, and frequently played in that venue; Whereas the Beastie Boys’ first album, “Polly Wog Stew,” was recorded at 171A Studios, located at 171 Avenue A in the East Village; Whereas in 1984, the Beastie Boys were the first white and the first Jewish hip hop group signed to Def Jam records, where they played a significant, early role breaking down racial barriers in 1980s music between rock (white audience) and hip hop (black and Latino audience), which in turn led to a greater cultural understanding and historic reduction in the racial divide between the groups according to the book and 2013 VH1 miniseries “The Tanning of America”; Whereas in 1988 the group released the album “Paul’s Boutique,” which brought the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets on the Lower East Side international fame by featuring an oversized picture of the corner on the cover of the album; Whereas the cover art from “Paul’s Boutique,” which Rolling Stone magazine named the 156th greatest album of all time in 2009 and the Village Voice named 3rd on its list of the 50 Most New York Albums Ever in 2013, continues to draw fans from around the world to the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets; Whereas, the Beastie Boys meet CB3’s street renaming guidelines because they have achieved “exceptional and highly acclaimed accomplishment or involvement linked to Manhattan Community

ENGELMAYER, District Judge: This case involves claims by the Beastie Boys, the hip-hop group, against Monster Energy Company (“Monster”), the energy-drink company. Specifically, the Beastie Boys, along with affiliated plaintiffs,1 bring claims of copyright infringement and of violations of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq., and the New York Civil Rights Law (NYCRL) § 51, arising out of Monster’s allegedly unauthorized publication of a promotional video that used as its soundtrack a remix including songs originally composed and recorded by the Beastie Boys. At issue presently is a third-party Complaint which Monster, after it was sued by the Beastie Boys, brought against Zach Sciacca, a/k/a “Z-Trip,” the disk jockey (“DJ”) who, with the Beastie Boys’ permission, originally made the remix. Z-Trip furnished the remix to Monster. Monster’s Complaint alleges that Z-Trip authorized Monster to make unrestricted use of the remix, including the Beastie Boys’ original compositions and recordings contained in it, in its promotional video. Monster sues Z-Trip for breach of contract and also for fraud, the latter 1 The Beastie Boys are a New York partnership.
