Rapper Eminem could sue the US Government for copyright infringement for playing his records to punish prisoners at Guantanomo Bay without his permission.
“The Road To Guantanamo” director, Michael Winterbottom, whose movie follows the activities of four male British inmates at the infamous Camp X-Ray detention centre, revealed that “music by Eminem was apparently used most of the time” as a form of punishment. “ So the boys' lawyer Clive Stafford Smith - who is currently trying to bring a case against the Americans for their mistreatment of prisoners in Guantanamo - has said,” he added.
"Eminem would have good grounds for suing the Government over abuse of his copyright," he concluded.

I think he is in his right mind to sue. If they really abused the right to play his music i for one being a big fan think he should get all he can out of this
