Eminem's former employee is in legal trouble for allegedly selling the rapper's unreleased music online without authorization. Joseph Strange, from Holly, Michigan, faces federal charges for copyright infringement and trafficking stolen property. The investigation started in January 2025 when Eminem's studio staff discovered his unfinished tracks circulating online. The studio promptly contacted the FBI after finding the leaked content matching a confidential list from their hard drive. Authorities traced the illegal sales back to Strange, a former employee of Eminem. If convicted, Strange could face imprisonment and fines for copyright infringement and trafficking stolen goods. The investigation is ongoing, and a decision on whether to pursue a felony indictment will be made later in 2025.
