Joseph Strange, a former sound engineer for Eminem, has been charged with leaking and selling between 20 to 25 unreleased songs for $50,000 in Bitcoin. After losing his job in 2021, he violated a severance agreement that prohibited him from distributing the rapper's music. The illegal activities were discovered when current employees at Eminem's studio found the unreleased tracks online and reported them. The FBI tracked the songs to hard drives that were supposed to remain secure, raising questions about the protection of digital music assets.
Joseph Strange's actions highlight the severe risks of insider threats in the music industry, underscoring the importance of protecting unreleased work from unauthorized access.
The illegal sale of Eminem's unreleased music not only undermines the artist's rights but also reflects growing vulnerabilities in digital music security practices.
