Submitted by reswill_keepnstitches36 on June 15, 2008 - 11:02pm in

(keepnstitches36)I've checked out the account's of the alledged copyright-infringement suit against rap-mogul,Jay-Z.This come's from a reliable source a fellow freelancer-artist with whom I'm conducting this phone interview.(keepnstitches36)Why don't you introduce yourself?,(so-sik),so-sick(keepnstitches36)thank you for that and this "Exclusive".(so-sik)No,thank you for the opportunity to express myself on the issue!.(keepnstitches36)Please divulge(so-sik)The extent of it is Intellectual-property,that Jay-Z excuse me Mr.Shawn Carter may or may not have been aware that another artist owned that cursive looping-"R".(keepnstitches36)let me interject;you believe jay-z has blatantly used the logo to rub your in your face because of his status?!.

(so-sik),Yes this is to acknowledge me as the creator/owner of the looping-"R"!
Not he and his company Roca-wear.They have the"RW"that is unique!.In regards of marketing,look the design"was to be for my line of tee's,"Res-Inc" now ResikArt Inc
that I came on the scene with in 1991.They were "the follow-up's"to the championship caricature tee's with Jordan atop the world sipping a coke with the
trophy along his side.(keepnstitches36)well?(so-sik)"let me stop you",you were about to ask why now?!.It has not been for lack of not trying to pursue-compensation".When I became"Painfully-aware" of my logo's usage it was "2002".
I saw it on a bootlegged-cap jay-z had not released or conceived.But this man had
one on at "H.E.Holmes train station"formerly,"Hightower".Then it was "the Domino-
effect"I saw it everywhere Chris Brown,Ciara wore it in roca-wear ad's!.Then I was struggling to make end's meet!(keepnstitches36)And now?(so-sik)through resources I've obtained help I weren'-aware existed for graphic-artist with no representation.

Jay-Z marketing has "major-backing"it is exact to mine!,"the usage of the-"R"and the colors of the cap's,As I drew them!."The subtletie's went out the window"of
giving jay-z the benefit of the fact was unbeknownst to him!.I feel he think's he's entitled to take it!because I'm unknown,I've thrived as an artist for 16-plus years!."I'm not backing-down"because he has money!.Jay-Z and his people at Roca-wear"blew-off" the email I sent in 2005 speaking of my intent!.Well,"they were forewarned".The twist of fate came this week ago last-Saturday upon me ag
ain emailing my intent along with a copy of "the original-design"to the office's
of Volunteer lawyer's for the art's in Atlanta and New York.I returned a call from the Atlanta office by a intern-para legal.Do you know she tried discouraging-me?! after I answered her question on the year I created it!which legally I can't disclose.She said due to the year's passed,"the statue's of limitation had expired!."I'll be clear"I will not give-up my fight for a "supposed-technicality".

(keepnstitches36)"So-sik"thank you for that and "the exclusive".To all you established-artist!you have the money to "thoroughly-check" to see if there is owner-ship of a logo,"signature-mark",content similar or exact to yours!."Take-time to dot your "I's" and cross your "t's" or this will happen to you!.
