-Eminem, Lose Yourself

Eight Mile Style LLC, Eminem’s publisher, has told a U.S. District Court judge that Apple Computer Inc. and Aftermath Records have already had their one shot to pay up on a $2.2 million settlement. The lawsuit originally arose over iTunes downloads. The settlement from Apple was originally less than the $2.2 million figure, but has grown due to interest and attorney fees, The Detroit News reports.

Music licensing is a topic that comes up often in the entertainment world. Under a music license, the creator of the music enters into an agreement that sets the terms for how their copyrighted music can be used and how they will be compensated. When a consumer buys music, they owns the media on which the information is stored, not the music itself. The purchaser has limitations regarding their use and reproduction of the music.
