著名說唱歌手Eminem的前聲音工程師被控竊取未發行的歌曲並出售它們，以換取市場領先的加密貨幣比特幣（BTC）。

The allegations, outlined in a criminal complaint filed in Michigan and seen by Law360, claim that Joseph Strange sold 25 unfinished tracks to a Canadian buyer for approximately $50,000 in cryptocurrency. The tracks were reportedly part of a larger batch of about 36 tracks that were stolen from Effigy, Eminem’s recording studio located in Michigan.

Strange, 46, worked for Eminem from 2007 to 2021 at the studio. According to the complaint, he “unlawfully” took the unreleased music and, after meeting a man named on-line, facilitated the sale of these tracks in exchange for Bitcoin.

46歲的Strange從2007年至2021年在錄音室工作。根據投訴，他“非法”採用了未發行的音樂，在遇到了一個名叫在線的人之後，他便有助於出售這些曲目以換取比特幣。

Employees at Effigy discovered some of the stolen songs available on various online platforms, including YouTube and Reddit, prompting an FBI investigation. The investigation revealed that Strange was “heavily involved” in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining and insisted on receiving payment solely in the cryptocurrency.

Effigy的員工在包括YouTube和Reddit在內的各種在線平台上發現了一些被盜歌曲，促使FBI進行了調查。調查表明，奇異的人“大量參與”了比特幣和加密貨幣開采的世界，並堅持僅在加密貨幣中獲得付款。

However, a spokesperson for Eminem expressed deep concern over the incident, highlighting the significant damage caused to the rapper’s artistic legacy and the financial losses incurred by those involved in the creative process.

但是，Eminem的發言人對這一事件表示深切關注，強調了對說唱歌手的藝術遺產造成的重大損害以及參與創作過程的人們造成的財務損失。

“The enormous financial losses incurred by the many creators and collaborators that deserve protection for their decades of work cannot be overstated,” the spokesperson said.

發言人說：“許多創作者和合作者造成的巨大財務損失不可誇大。”

Strange is facing serious charges, including criminal infringement of copyright and interstate transportation of stolen goods. If convicted of copyright infringement, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The charges for interstate transportation carry a potential maximum penalty of ten years behind bars.

Strange正面臨嚴重的指控，包括刑事侵犯版權和州際交通工具。如果被判侵犯版權，他將面臨最高五年的監禁，最高可罰款25萬美元。州際運輸的指控可能落後10年。

Fink, Strange’s attorney, emphasized that a criminal complaint consists of allegations that have yet to be tested in a courtroom.

Fink是Strange的律師Fink強調，刑事訴訟包括尚未在法庭上進行測試的指控。

“It’s important for people to understand that a criminal complaint is merely a set of allegations signed by a prosecutor and publicized by press release,” he stated, adding that Strange will respond to the charges in court and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

他說：“對於人們來說，重要的是要了解刑事訴訟只是一組檢察官簽署並通過新聞稿宣傳的指控。”他補充說，奇怪的人將對法庭上的指控作出回應，並被認為是無辜的，直到被證明是有罪的。

This incident is not the first time Eminem has faced issues with leaked music. In 2002, unauthorized tracks from his album “The Eminem Show” were sold online before their official release, which forced the rapper to expedite the album’s launch to mitigate financial damages.

這一事件不是Eminem首次面臨洩漏的音樂問題。 2002年，他的專輯“ The Eminem Show”中未經授權的曲目在正式發行之前在線出售，這迫使說唱歌手加快了專輯的發行以減輕財務損失。

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $84,139, which is a 14% retracement on a monthly basis after the massive market sell-off that took place last month.
