Music

The number is probably set just high enough to force meta to respond with lawyers who have an actual payroll. $1M is nothing, but if they roll over, then every other artist will do the same. Meta will need to fight this in courts. It will cost them money to do so.

Eminem can make an album about it afterwards. And he doesn't look super greedy. And other artists might win because of him.

Why is everyone focusing on the number. It's going to set the record that artist's can sue corporate for using their work unfairly.

Exceed $1 Million

That is effectively pocket change to both parties. This isn't about money, but the legal precedent.

My dude, you aren't suing a small blogger, but an evil corporation worth over $1.5 trillion. Aim higher!

Wow, a WHOLE million? They're sure to learn their lesson.

/s, just in case.

The article says that Meta claims they got the rights through some third party firm that, his publisher claims had no right to authorize the distribution of their music. If that turns out to be the case, I wonder how many of the other artists that you can choose when you want to make a Reel or whatever also would fall under this same circumstance?

I imagine this more about starting a precedent in the courts to sue Meta over IP. Eminem doesn't need the money, but he needs meta to not steal what doesn't belong to them.

Hell yeah, get their asses Slim!

Meta: "Ooooooh! A whole million dollars!"

Nice

I think that's how much Zuckerberg tips the person who washes his testicles for him.

A million.

Cost of doing business for them. They won't even blink.

Is that Eminem Che Guevara?

Did he forget how to spell billions?

He looks fucking weird, is it the plastic surgery?
