Eminem’s former studio engineer charged with stealing unreleased music and selling it online

CNN  

CNN — A former Eminem studio engineer was charged Wednesday with stealing the Detroit rapper’s unreleased music and selling it online, federal prosecutors announced. Investigators say more than 25 songs have been played or distributed online without the consent of Eminem or Interscope Capital Labels Group, which owns Eminem’s music, the Associated Press reported. The music was stored on password-protected hard drives kept in a safe at Eminem’s studio in Ferndale, a Detroit suburb, according to an FBI affidavit. An FBI search of Strange’s home in January turned up numerous handwritten Eminem lyric sheets and notes; a VHS tape of an unreleased Eminem video; and hard drives with 12,000 audio files.
