Meta says there’s no basis for Eminem’s music publisher to claim that “Lose Yourself” and other iconic tracks were made available to billions of users without permission, urging a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit that seeks an “eye-popping” $110 million in damages.

Eight Mile Style, a publishing company that owns 243 Eminem compositions, filed suit in May against the juggernaut owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Eight Mile alleged that all three Meta platforms were hosting unlicensed versions of its songs in their music libraries, which allow users to easily add their favorite tracks to the photos and videos they post.
