UK agency sues music-streaming service SoundCloud for copyright infringement
New York
SOUNDCLOUD, a popular music- streaming website that has previously clashed with the music industry, has been sued in connection with copyright infringement by a British agency that represents songwriters.
The agency, PRS for Music, said last Thursday that it had begun legal proceedings against SoundCloud in Britain, claiming the streaming service was infringing on PRS members' copyrights by not obtaining licences or paying royalties. PRS, which represents more than 100,000 songwriters and publishers, did not specify what it was seeking in its suit and said its court papers were not yet public.
