Michael Jackson Owns Eminem (and Bjork, and Beck)

Eminem must be getting fired up, because Michael Jackson has just purchased Famous Music, LLC from Viacom (Famous Music being a publishing company, not owner of sound recordings), giving Jacko the rights to Eminem's songs (not to mention Bjork, Shakira, and Beck).
