[Jan 05, 2005] Eminem will finally get his day in court as Manhattan federal Judge Gerard Lynch ruled on Monday (January 3), that his copyright-infringement lawsuit against the Source magazine can go to trial. Eminem is suing the publication for releasing excerpts of two songs, "Oh Foolish Pride," and "So Many Styles," without his permission. The songs featured racially offensive lyrics and the publication released the music in attempt to show that Eminem was racist.
