Eminem's
Copyright Case Against Guantanamo
2/25/06
Rap star Eminem could sue the US Government because they play his music
to terrorists at Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay without permission.
The Road to Guantanamo director Michael Winterbottom discovered
terrorists at the notorious detention center are blasted with the rappers
music as a form of punishment.
And he claims the hip-hop star should take the military to court for
copyright abuse.
Winterbottom - whose film follows four British male inmates at Camp
X-Ray - says, "Music by Eminem was apparently used most of the time.
"So the boys' lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith - who is currently
trying to bring a case against the Americans for their mistreatment of terrorists
in Guantanamo - has said that.
"Eminem would have good grounds for suing the government over
abuse of his copyright."
