Jay-Z Selling Occupy Wall Street T-Shirts; No Plans to Share Profits With Protestors
Source: HollywoodReporter.com
Jay-Z is releasing a new line of T-shirts in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement Friday via his Rocawear clothing label, but he doesn't plan to share any of the profits with the protesters.
The rapper was recently seen wearing one of the shirts, which tweaks the phrase "Occupy Wall Street" by crossing out the "W" and adding an "S" to make it read "Occupy All Streets."
The protests, which started Sept. 17 in New York, have since spread to Los Angeles and other cities as demonstrators protest corporate greed and corruption.
The Business Insider noted the "irony" in that Jay-Z has no intention to distribute any of the proceeds to protestors.
A Rocawear spokesperson told the publication: "The 'Occupy All Streets' T-shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement."

Sounds like that whole "leaderless" movement isn't working out too well. If you had anyone with a brain running that circus, they might have trademarked the name to prevent this tragedy. :tongue:

Nothing like making a profit off of what your protesting against for making a profit....

Lol! Puuulease! Jay Z and his buddy Sean Combs are two of the biggest capitalists in the music industry! :rotf:
-
Yes, they failed to trademark the name, and as Mr. Mannn pointed out, they failed to set themselves up as a non-profit, subjecting all that dough to taxes, and possibly confiscation.
(P.S. Add Kanye West to the list including Jay Z and Sean Combs).

The first comment at that link is great - "What a shame to have such a lovely home and not be able to fit through the door."
