Re:Eminem Wins Another Court Victory
em has just won a case against Dutch online company, Rams Horn BV for copyright and trademark infringement.
On their web site, Rams Horn BV sold CD's entitled Eminem Is Back and All Stars Eminem - The Greatest Hits without Slim's approval. The first CD contained unreleased Slim tracks while the latter featured covers of Eminem songs.
Ramshorn must now end sales of all CD's and place a rectification notice on its web site. The company must also send letters to every client that has purchased the CD and request that they return the CD's in exchange for reimbursement of the original price in addition to the postage. Failure to cooperate could result in fines ranging between 7,500 and 25,000 Euro dollars for breach of restrictions stated by the court.
Last week, a Detroit Federal judge ruled that Em could proceed to sue Apple Computer for their unauthorized use of his smash hit "Lose Yourself."
