DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- Rapper Eminem's music publisher is suing Apple Computer Inc., claiming the company used one of the hip-hop superstar's songs in a television advertisement without permission.

Eight Mile Style filed the copyright infringement suit late last week against Apple, Viacom Inc., its MTV subsidiary and the TBWA/Chiat/Day advertising agency.

:2 cents:

Ah, the irony.

Somebody is going to lose their job at the ad agency for not clearing a sample.

this should be fun... big time rapper vs. billion $$$ company

:glugglug

Bruce is a closet homo.

Rightttttttttt ... and he sampled most of his beats anyways

they'll probably take the Ad off the air and settle out of court and we won't hear anything more about it

Thats funny

ohhh big bucks for eminem

good move hehe

I don't think i'd want to tangle with apple in a courtroom, even if i had eminems money. I bet they're lawyers are sharks in suits.

i smell some $$$

big money....heh

i wonder if they stuck the the rule..where you can sample a certain amount of the song and use it.


damn..who knows the exact wording of that law?

they musta downloaded that song off the net and played it for free! the nerve!

Plus he ripped off Tom Green w/ the 'Bum Bum' song w/o permission, yet when Weird Al wanted to do a parody of that Loose Yourself song, Eminem flipped out and said he didn't want someone tainting the "seriousness" of his song. WTF?

hmmm fuck that..... damn white boiz
