Eminem settles ringtone lawsuit with Cellus US

Cellus US has agreed to stop distributing Eminem ringtones and settle with his publishing company Eight Mile Style out of court.

One of the companies targeted by Eminem's publishing company over allegations they were illegally selling ringtones of the rapper's music have reached an out of court settlement.

As previously reported, Eight Mile Style and Martin Affilated sued five companies last October over the ringtone claims. However, the two plaintiffs have now asked the US District Court to approve an out of court settlement with one of the defendants, Colorado-based Cellus US.

Few details about the deal are known, although a lawyer for the ringtone company said her clients had agreed to stop distributing the ring tones in question. She did not comment as to whether any compensation was paid to Eminem or his companies. A spokesman for Mr Shady said, simply, that "an amicable agreement" had been reached.
