Eminem to rap Apple in court
Zombie9920:
International rap star Eminem has been given the US court's go-ahead to continue his suit against Apple, its advertising agency TBWA/Chiat/Day and MTV.
Though some claims in the case were disallowed the artist can press on with the suit, which alleges the defendants broke federal copyright law and falsely implied the artist had endorsed Apple's iTunes Music Store and iPod.
An MTV Apple TV advertisement in the US had featured a ten-year old singing Eminem's track, Lose Yourself. Two claims of unfair competition and unjust enrichment were rejected, reports the Detroit News. The ad was screened for three months beginning July 2003, and was also made available on Apple's Web site.

If Apple has infringed Eminem's copyright, then they must assume the consequences.
Paladin9:
This reminds me of how Metallica always sue's people over stupid things.
Refalm:
I can understand it somehow. You did your best to make a "don't-fuck-with-me" song, and some dumbass 10-year old fucks it up. I would sue their pants off too.
Paladin9:
This case may be more reasonable. It just reminds me of when Metallica sued some canadian band for using a "cord progression" or whatever that Metallica said was theirs. "It is they way the canadain band uses it" says Metallica. I do not know the outcome of the whole thing, but I hope the law suit did not work out for Metallica.
