A political party in New Zealand has been ordered to pay more than $400,000 to the American rapper, Eminem for using music similar to his 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” on a television commercial during the national elections.
The National Party had violated copyrights, releasing the song during the 2014 election campaign, which they had titled <x0Eminem Esque”, Reuters reports.
