Woman, 70, Sues
Eminem

 A 70-year-old grandmother has filed a lawsuit against Eminem and his record labels for allegedly using a clip from a composition by her late husband on a 1999 song.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court alleges the
Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, used a clip from composer Ronald Stein's "Pigs Go Home" in his
song "Guilty Conscience" from "The Slim Shady LP." According to court documents, the CD's liner notes state that "Guilty Conscience" contains "an interpolation from 'Go Home
Pigs,'" but Stein isn't listed as the composer.
Plaintiff Harlene Stein alleges copyright infringement
in her lawsuit, filed last month, and is seeking past royalties and compensatory damages.
Aftermath Entertainment/Inters cope Records, which released
the CD, had no comment on the lawsuit Friday, said vice president of publicity Dennis Dennehy.
"The Slim Shady LP" won a Grammy for best rap album
in 2000.
