Eminem Lawsuit May Change The Industry Forever
Eminem Lawsuit May Result in Higher Royalties for Older Artists
F.B.T. Productions, the company that originally signed Eminem filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group that may help artists get more money from digital sales.
Em's original contract stated that individual songs sold online would count as a license rather than a sale.
A license would pay the artist 50 percent of the song while a sale would only relinquish 12 percent, which is what the Detroit rapper was being paid.
The Supreme Court ruled against the appeal filed by UMG since they lost the case last year and now what is estimated to be around a $20 million value in unpaid royalties shall increase to somewhere around $50 million within the next decade.
So what does this mean? It affects the artists that had contracts way before digital sales existed.
The language in that paperwork may only be granting some singers, rappers and musicians a sale royalty rate instead of a licensing one that would increase their income.There are heavily downloaded songs that labels are benefiting from in today's declining record industry.
UMG most likely set off a warning for majors to take action before artists catch wind. Stay tuned.

Another Atlanta Bishop Accused Of Sexual Misconduct
Atlanta Pastor Investigated About Indecencies With Minors
Another Atlanta area preacher stands accused of molesting children. Bishop Johnathan Alvarado is reportedly being looked at by the DeKalb County District Attorney's office over recent allegations of his sexual misconduct towards members of his congregation.

Alligator found guarding weed plants worth 1.5 mil
A 4-foot-long, 55-pound American alligator was found in a bathing pool, guarding the more than 2,200 marijuana plants -- worth more than $1.5 million.
"If he were to bit somebody, yeah, he could do quite a bit of damage," said Joel Almquist, owner of Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Phelan, Calif.
That may be why the owner, John Nathan Donna, allegedly thought it would be a good idea to keep the pet gator as a sort of watchdog over his crop. The 29-year-old was arrested and charged for cultivation of marijuana and possession, both felonies. He was released Tuesday on $100,000 bail.
Almquist was called in to capture and remove the animal named Wally.
"This one here is absolutely beautiful. He's probably a little too well taken care of. He's absolutely perfect in every way and real mellow," he said of the alligator, which is believed to be about 5 or 6 years old.
It is illegal to own an alligator in California.
"One illegal activity kind of brings on more illegal activity. I've gotten several calls from sheriff's departments, police departments, what not, where there have been cobras in the houses, exotic cats in the houses," recalled Almquist.
Wally will be in the company of 16 other rescued gators. Almquist said keeping in line with the animal's claim to fame, Wally may be given a new name -- Marley for the famous reggae singer Bob Marley.
The alligator will now call Forever Wild is new home. The sanctuary is better known for its stock of exotic and wild cats.
