2 unusual facts about Bridgeport Music


Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. Dimension Films

The case centered on N.W.A.’s song “100 Miles and Runnin’” and Funkadelic'sGet Off Your Ass and Jam.” Essentially, N.W.A. sampled a two-second guitar chord from Funkadelic's tune, lowered the pitch and looped it five times in their song.

This was all done without Funkadelic's permission and with no compensation paid to Bridgeport Music, which claims to own the rights to Funkadelic's music.
