EminemEminem and his publishing companies have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop his tunes from being used as mobile phone ring tones.

The lawsuit, filed in Detroit, is seeking a court order to stop five individual companies from selling ring tones on the internet.

The companies named in the suit are Colorado-based Cellus USA, Georgia-based FanMobile, New York-based Nextones.com, New Jersey-based MyPhoneFiles and New Jersey-based MatrixM LLC.

Eminem is also intending to sue karaoke companies who sell the rappers tracks with the proper licenses…is the fall out from his recent rehabilitation for taking copious amounts of painkillers?

Howard Hertz, lawyer for Eminem and co told the New York Daily News: "This is a big business. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year."
