Apple Inc. and Eminem are at it again: reps for the Detroit rapper are suing the iTunes people for allowing illegal downloads of their client's music. The two had tangoed before: an out-of-court settlement was reached on a suit that had been previously filed against Apple for using Eminem’s "Lose Yourself" in a TV spot for the iTunes music store. Neither of the parties involved had any official comment regarding the current legal action.

In other related news, AC/DC has decided to sell its music digitally via Verizon and not iTunes. The exclusive full-albums-only deal will be offered through the PC version of Verizon’s VCast Music service for $12 an album. The band’s entire back catalog will be available until March 2008.
