Michael Jackson Buys Rights to Eminem's Catalog

I remember when Michael Jackson raised hell over Eminem's parody of the Gloved One the music clip for "Just Lose It." Em basically told Jacko to lighten up, it was all in good humor after all. Well, I wonder how the Slim Shady feels now that Michael Jackson owns the rights to two of his biggest hits: "Without Me" and "The Real Slim Shady."

Jackson, who owns a stake in The Beatles' catalog, recently acquired Famous Music LLC from Viacom. The new purchase grants him copyright access to the aforementioned Eminem songs, in addition to songs by Beck, Shakira, and Bjork.

"This is a milestone event for Sony/ATV Music Publishing," said Jackson in a statement. "The diverse collection of songs in this catalog range from timeless classics to contemporary hits, and I am pleased to add the acquisition of Famous Music to Sony/ ATV."

    Three Questions:

    1.) How does this effect Eminem?
    2.) What’s in it for Micheal Jackson? Does he get future royalties?
    3.) How does Micheal Jackson still have money? I realize he took in a ton of cash, but hasn’t he pissed it away on lawyers, hush money, and the elephant man’s bones?

    Don’t believe everything you hear, Michael still has a steady stream of income. He just got paid $10 million (or so we’re told) just to show up at a party held by some rich prince.

    As for how this affects Eminem, that depends on exactly how much of the catalog Mike invested in. I don’t know the specifics of the agreement.
