Universal argued that Eminem should be paid a standard 18% royalty rate for those sales, as he is for physical copies. FBT contended that providing a song to iTunes was actually a third-party licensing situation, similar to film and television deals, which calls for a 50% royalty rate.

I don't agree that iTunes should be considered licensing, to me it's sales, just like physical copies. I don't see how they could compare it to TV and film.

But anyway, Eminem has some good people around him to pull that off.
