Brooks vs. Damon Dash: The Unauthorized Taking of Mafietta

Author and Filmmaker E.W. Brooks finally reveals the ins and outs of her 14-month legal battel to wrangle her film Mafietta from Hip Hop Old Hand Damon Dash. With bits of straight-up, round the way authenticity, and tons of country sass; Brooks lays out the saga of winning her landmark trademark and copyright infringement case. Damon’s unauthorized streaming and monetization of my film was not only a crime against me but also one against our culture. This type of behavior disqualifies him as an authority to call anyone outside our community a Culture Vulture when he seems so determined to devour the same culture from within.
