Rapper Jay Z is presently being sued over his
2010 best-seller ‘Decoded’ by a writer, Patrick White, who claims,
his work was illegally used in the book.
According
to the lawsuit, filed on June 13, Mr. White, claims
that portions of Jay Z’s book were taken from his laptop, which was stolen in
2009.
‘In 2009, my personal computer was compromised, resulting in my personal
work to be used in Jay-Z’s book Decoded which was released in 2010’
White said.
White
is suing for copyright infringement and invasion of property.
‘The book contains various expressions/colours/phrases, which correlates
to my work. After contacting or attempting to contact the co-author, I got no
reply’, he added.
Authors
Dream Hampton and Random House who are co-authors of the book are also
named in the hand-written lawsuit.
