I don't think he needs the money. This seems more like a cut that shit out and start the ball rolling for everyone else to sue.

    He doesn't, but evil corporations only respond to one thing: money.

    The more you can take from them, the more it hurts them. They already do it to us, including ripping off his songs, so fight back if you have the money to spend on lawyers!

    Yes, a lawsuit, a fine, etc are all "cost of doing business." If it costs a million dollars a year to use eminem's music, but engages 150 million of their 2 billion users into engagement and ad revenue that nets 50 million dollars, it was a very lucrative payment to eminem, and now they will certainly be willing to do the same for other popular artists at that price point.
