David Ortiz getting sued...

[Roast]

...by Jay-Z. Apparently Ortiz opened up a "Forty-Forty" club in the Dominican Republic. Jay-Z and his business partner are suing him because they think it's a bit to close to their "40/40" club that has been around for some time.

There are, from what I can see, 6 40/40 clubs in the chain. Is that really a winnable lawsuit?

Laws of the U.S. do not hold jurisdiction in the D.R. I'm not overly versed on this subject but I believe occasionally a foreign court will respect U.S. copyrights and trademarks but I highly doubt the D.R. will do that to a beloved son like Ortiz.

I wanted to go to Jay Z's 40-40 Club, but I guess it was in Las Vegas, not the Dominican Republic. Whoops, that was a waste of a trip.

I'm not sure why you think the laws or courts of the DR have anything to do with this.
