Eminem’s Former Employee Pleads Guilty to Leaking Rapper’s Unreleased Music
Joseph Strange, who worked for rapper for 14 years, faces five years in prison on charge of criminal infringement of a copyright
Joseph Strange, Eminem's former sound engineer, has pleaded guilty to stealing and reselling unreleased music that leaked online. Strange, 48, admitted to a single charge of criminal copyright infringement for allegedly stealing over 24 studio demos and selling them for $50,000. Eminem's spokesperson stated that these leaked songs were "never meant for public consumption" and were studio efforts "dated and not relevant so many years later."
Strange, who worked at Eminem's Michigan studio for more than 15 years, will face up to five years in prison when he is sentenced in January.
