It is my understanding that , as his work is parody, Weird Al asks permission by way of good relations in the industry rather than any legal necessity (Witness Coolio's conniption over "Amish Paradise").
That said, Eminiem is a dickhead of the first water. Unfortunately, he is very clever, on heck of a songwriter, and a low grade marketing wizard. I forsee a lot of traffic in his songs on Kazaa, even though I will only listen to a few of them. (I have most of Metallica for similar reasons.)
Speaking of which, what I would really like to see Weird Al do is a song about Fat Albert to the tune of "I Disappear" (Hey Hey Hey, Here I go, Here I go down to the Dump...)
I really would like to hear the track, though.
