I found this article tonight on Huffington Post:

It's a short article, but it makes the issues pretty clear and that's why I'm posting it here.

So Al's entire case rests on the precedent of Eminem's successful 2010 suit in a similar case involving digital royalties.
I hear that Eminem is supportive of Al's lawsuit but will not let him make a music video for it.

[OneWAY]

It will be more detrimental to his image than the lawsuit itself?

Wow that article is incredible. It should be required reading for anyone who want to understand what this lawsuit is all about.

It would appear that it IS piracy that is cutting into musicians' livelihood.

But some of the biggest pirates are in-house.

Record labels are douches to the artists.
