Eminem Sues Apple

And no, this is not a joke. :lol:
"A federal judge in Detroit ruled Monday that rap star Eminem's copyright lawsuit against Apple Computer could proceed. The case focuses on a 2003 Apple advertisement for its iPod music player, which depicted a young boy wearing the iPod's trademark white headphones and singing Eminem's "Lose Yourself" aloud. The rapper's music publisher, Eight Mile Style, contends that Apple did not have permission to use the song."
Can you say money grab? What a joke! I serously doubt Eight Mile Style lost revenues from this commercial. And it's not like Eminem's image was tarnished by the ad, as if anything could soil his image more than it aleady is. I think he's just jealous that the iPod is more popular than he is! :roll:
