Is that Eminem Che Guevara?
it’s his new look since around 2016ish. I’ve gotten quite used to it, actually, and I think it fits him quite a bit
If I just saw him out of the corner of my eye, I would think it’s actually Justin Timberlake.
I think that’s how much Zuckerberg tips the person who washes his testicles for him.
Testiclean is a wholly owned subordinate of Meta. He doesn’t tip.
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?
Hey, you wanna license the Beatles? I’m your guy
$3.50 a pop.
Throw in a couple of Nirvana tracks and you got yourself a deal
Well it was about that time that I noticed that the Beetles Agent was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the protozoic era
Meta: “Ooooooh! A whole million dollars!”
Wow, a WHOLE million? They’re sure to learn their lesson.
/s, just in case.
You dont just get to decide how much to sue for (well, you can try but good luck if there’s no base for your number)
I mean fuck Facebook and all, but this isn’t a good thing. Music is free, rich people are stupid.
Says someone who’s never made their own music in their life.
Lol. Ok boomer.
Yeah, so I guess we’ll just let the multi billion dollar corporation continue profiting off of others work without any sort of pushback right?
You’re like this close to sounding like a dumb anarcho-capitalist.
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.
I’d be disappointed if he didn’t make a record after it.
It says statutory right in the article. $150k seems like the legal limit per song.
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.
Why is everyone focusing on the number.
Because this is Lemmy. Any actual action that harms the corporations must be mocked and dismissed. Only empty posturing and Internet-tough-guy-ism is allowed.
I thought lemmy would have a bit more freedom than reddit. It’s just another cesspool i guess.
Been going after individual users long enough I guess

Did he forget how to spell billions?
Hell yeah, get their asses Slim!
He looks fucking weird, is it the plastic surgery?
He’s a grandfather now, people age. This isn’t slim shady
that’s called facial hair.
Nah, it’s the weird beard
this is a reference
why you yellin at the mic

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