A federal judge in the United States has ruled that Eight Mile Style can pursue its substantial copyright infringement lawsuit against Meta. The company, which handles publishing rights for many of Eminem's tracks, alleges that the social media giant unlawfully used 243 songs across its main platforms. Last week's decision by Judge Brandy R. McMillion allows the core direct infringement claims to advance, while setting aside some secondary allegations.
The action seeks statutory damages calculated at up to $109.3 million (£81.6 million). This comes after the lawsuit was initially filed in 2025.
