Eminem Sues Apple Over iTunes Downloads

August 1st 2007 | Multimedia

Everyone wants a bite out of Apple these days. Apple was sued in early July for copyright infringement concerning Avril Lavigne’s "Girlfriend." Apple came under fire yet again in late July when Jose Trujillo filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the company over the iPhone’s lack of a user-replaceable battery and "poor" battery life.

Today, it’s rap artist Eminem’s turn to bite down to Apple’s core. In a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed on Monday, Eminem’s producer (Eight Mile Style) and his copyright manager (Martin Affiliated) claim that Universal Musical Group was never authorized to allow the download of his music from iTunes.

"Eight Mile and Martin have demanded that Apple cease and desist its reproduction and distribution and Apple has refused," states the complaint filed by Eight Mile Style and Martin Affiliated.
