Eminem and Apple heading to court today
The talks between Eminem’s music publisher Eight Mile Style and Apple over their pending court battle broke down yesterday, meaning the case will kick off as planned today. “The case did not settle today and we are expecting to start trial first thing tomorrow morning,” said Eight Mile Style lawyer Howard Hertz.
The lawsuit focuses on Apple’s sale of 93 Eminem tracks on iTunes, which were licensed from Aftermath Records, which Eight Mile Style claims didn’t have the right to approve. It seems the publisher isn’t just trying to get a share of the profits Apple and Aftermath made from sales of the tracks, but even a slice of Apple’’s iPod sales that were “attributed to the 93 songs”.
Could be a tough one to prove, that latter point. How many people bought an iPod specifically to play Eminem songs on?
