    Yes, a lawsuit, a fine, etc are all “cost of doing business.” If it costs a million dollars a year to use eminem’s music, but engages 150 million of their 2 billion users into engagement and ad revenue that nets 50 million dollars, it was a very lucrative payment to eminem, and now they will certainly be willing to do the same for other popular artists at that price point.
