The wild power struggle over the Wu-Tang Clan’s secretive, single-copy album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin kicked into high gear again this week, with disgraced pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli filing a counter lawsuit against RZA. With his new counterclaims, Shkreli is asking the court to issue a declaratory judgment confirming his asserted copyright ownership. He contends that RZA and Wu-Tang Clan producer Cilvaringz wrongly reclaimed and resold the copyrights without his knowledge amid his criminal case woes. In a complaint filed in June 2024, the group accused him of improperly retaining copies of the album after the criminal court ordered its full forfeiture. So, it would’ve cost me more than the selling price in reality, because of the deficit that was already incurred.
