This has been a pretty exciting week for Jay Z. Not only did the Brooklyn native meet Prince William and Kate Middleton, but he also got a ridiculous lawsuit dropped. On Monday (Dec. 8), TufAmerica's copyright lawsuit accusing Jay Z and his record companies of sampling an "oh" on his infamous single "Run This Town" was officially dismissed.

"The word 'oh' is a single and commonplace word," writes New York federal judge Lewis Kaplan. "Standing alone, it likely is not deserving of copyright protection... As this motion may be resolved on other grounds, however, the Court need not decide whether the word 'oh,' as it appears in the Composition, is protectible."

While TufAmerica argued the "oh" Jay Z used came from older sound recording called "Hook & Sling Part 1," judge Kaplan did not feel as though the word "oh" was quantitatively or qualitatively significant.
