Beastie Boys win 3-note fight
"The three-note copyright battle between the Beastie Boys and jazz and classical flautist James Newton is over, with the Boys the winners.
"Newton claimed he was owed payment from way back in 1992 when the band sampled three notes from his Choir for their Pass the Mic."

[One report I heard said that the Beasties spent a cool half million defending their three notes. Actually, it was two, because one of the notes was repeated. Big dough in pop culture!]
