Score a victory for music artists over the uncaring music industry, albeit, it won't start an activist push, and
the terms are secret.
Apple Inc. and the music publisher for Eminem have settled a lawsuit over the digital downloading rights to many of the Detroit rapper's songs, a lawyer said Friday.
Eight Mile Style LLC claimed that its contract with Aftermath Records did not authorize the record label to strike a download deal with Apple and the popular iTunes service.
Eight Mile and another plaintiff, Martin Affiliated LLC, were seeking millions of dollars, alleging copyright violations on 93 songs, including Eminem's biggest hit, "Lose Yourself."
"The case was settled to the satisfaction of all parties," Eight Mile attorney Richard Busch said.
But
Eminem was not a witness and did not testify. Eight Mile is owned by brothers Mark and Jeff Bass, songwriters and producers who are credited with launching the rapper's career.
Even when artists when, they still don't have the awareness to be there though.
