A former Eminem studio engineer has been charged with stealing the Detroit rapper’s unreleased music and selling it online.
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 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.
Joseph Strange, 46, of Holly, Michigan, was charged via a criminal complaint with copyright infringement and interstate transportation of stolen goods.
Strange, who lost his job at Eminem’s studio in 2021, could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of both counts.
