Eminem sues Apple over song (http://www.rte.ie/arts/2004/0225/eminem.html)
Rapper Eminem has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Apple computer company for using one of his songs without his permission.

He claims that 'Lose Yourself', the theme song from his 2002 film '8 Mile', has been used in an advertisement for Apple's iTunes pay-per-download music store.

'Lose Yourself' has won several awards, including a Best Original Song Oscar in 2003.

Eight Mile Style, the music publisher of the rap artist whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, filed the copyright infringement in Detroit federal court last Friday. iTunes, hmmm... :rofl2

I guess he needs to make up the money from the previous lawsuit on him. :rofl2

I don't see anything wrong with this. If someone is using your stuff without paying or asking you have a right to sue. It's not about the money 100% of the time. But if you let one person do it, odds are others will also soon follow without fear.

I don't really care about this. But ever happen to this guy have seen a song from him in a while? A new one I mean, it only been like 6 months since last one. He usually got a new every week. lol

You know, iTunes was supposed to represent "legal" exchange of music over the internet. An end to "all the music piracy."

And they pirated a song for an ad.

Ah, it's a Kodak moment.:sun_smile
