Eminem bid to block net ringtones

Rap star Eminem's publishing companies have gone to court to stop his songs being sold as ringtones over the internet. Eight Mile Style and Martin Affiliated are seeking a court order against five companies in the US District Court, informs On Air Mag.

Lawyers also plan to sue karaoke firms that fail to obtain proper licences. "This is big business," said Howard Hertz, lawyer for the publishing companies. "We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year."
