According to a criminal complaint filed May 30, Meta allows users to sync the music to photos and videos across Meta’s platforms, collecting billions of views. While Meta has removed some compositions following the publisher’s approach, several prominent Eminem songs reportedly remain available.
Eight Mile Style is seeking $150,000 per alleged infringement on each platform Meta has made the songs available.
