All the Eminem hate is pretty damn funny considering he is not actively involved in the case. On the other hand the Relapse album is ****ing hilarious.
Got a tip for us?

Well, it's his damn music. He should be in control of his own music, and if he's not that just proves his dumb.

This sounds more like an issue with the record company than with Apple. It sounds like they are sueing the wrong party which is probably why it is going to court. If the original contract is with the record company and Apple does not have a contract with the artist then the beef is with the record company. That's my 2 cents on the issue anyway.

Seems like it. But then I never could understand our legal system. It's quite possible Apple inherited responsibility a lot like someone who purchases stolen goods does.
All of us. Some art is popular because it reminds us of the times of our life that we spent listening to it.
This is why middle aged people always love the music of their teens - even if it is rubbish.
But great art reaches across time.
If future generations see his value and treasure his music like ray charles or bob dylan - then its pretty good art.
Sales alone don't prove quality. Macdonalds, microsoft and maria carey spring to mind
When deciding who to sue, you generally pick the person with the deepest pockets first!
Except that they are usually the ones with the best lawyers
..."Eight Mile Style previously sued Apple for improper use of Eminem's hit single "Lose Yourself" ...
What a sorry washed up, has-been. Nobody cares about him any more so he resorts to trying to make money this way?

LOL
Without being apprised of the details and or parties involved, the macrumors Apple defense team come out to besmirch Eminem
He suddenly lost relevance despite his record sales and popularity. So irrelevant that he landed Page 1 priority on macrumors....

He's not even actively involved in the case, and again he has the highest selling album of '09 so I fail to see how he's washed up.
I know Apple makes great products (I can't remember my life without my iPhone
) but does that mean we have to bash whomever appears to be 'against' Apple, no matter the circumstances?
Well I'm sure he liked it but yeah money is always an option, but he already has enough of it unless he keeps spending it on hookers n drugs.

Translation......more than just you. So cut it out with the stupid crap like "WE don't think he will be famous for....." You sure as hell don't speak for me, so don't word your posts like you do, or that you are somehow the sole purveyor of what is quality, and what is not.
I don't use this term much, but..... owned!
Only if there's a more than marginal probability Apple were at fault. And perhaps to save face. But EMS aren't after any small amount of change
Eminem will easily go down as one of the best rappers to do it.
SO enough with the "he's not relevant talk" as that just shows 2 things:
1. you don't know what you are talking about
2. You are probably not a rap fan.
Anyway, its been proven hes not even involved in this so lets move past that.
