Eminem Sues Apple Again

08/01/07
. (AP) The publisher of rapper Eminem's music has filed a federal lawsuit against computer giant Apple Inc. for selling downloads of his songs without permission.

Apple has an agreement with Universal Music Group, the record company that owns the recordings, but doesn't deal directly with publishers, who own the rights to scores and lyrics.

In the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Detroit, Eminem's music publisher Eight Mile Style and copyright manager Martin Affiliated seek more than $75,000 for copyright infringement, unfair competition and a violation of the Michigan consumer protection act.
