Eri explains the copyright infringement and moral rights debate between Baligh Hamdi's nephew Osama Fahmy and Jay-Z (along with his producer Timbaland). This case spanned two decades, an appeal, and a discussion of moral rights in U.S. courts. Through the 'Big Pimpin' & 'Khosara Khosara' cases we explore the details of acquiring licenses, inalienable rights, and public domain.
