Then the journalists drew attention to the paragraph in the terms of the sale of the disc: although the new owner is a full-fledged winner in 88 years, the group has the right to try to steal the record. If musicians succeed, they return to copyright. Attempt can take only members of the Wu-Tang Clan and actor bill Murray.
