I was glad to get a message this morning letting me know that the Beastie Boys prevailed in their copyright lawsuit with Monster Beverage. My friend Z Trip was dragged into the lawsuit because it was his Beasties mix used by Monster, so this win serves as vindication for him as well. Check out this article from the Rolling Stone about the case and verdict.
