Rolling Stone recently obtained a copy of Adam “MCA” Yauch‘s will that he constructed shortly before he passed away. The Beastie Boys’ member specifically prohibits the use of his music and “artistic property” for advertising purposes after his death.

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event may my image or name or any music or any artistic property created by me be used for advertising purposes,” the will states.  The phrase “or any music or any artistic property created by me” was added in handwriting.

The will, which was passed on Tuesday in a Manhattan court, leaves Yauch’s $6.4 million estate to his wife, Dechen, and their daughter, Tenzin Losel. Yauch passed away on May 4th, 2012 after a three-year battle with salivary gland cancer.
