Record label company EMI has finally filed a lawsuit against Grooveshark for copyright infringment.
Grooveshark is an online music website where users can upload music and share their playlists with others for free.
This record label becomes the final member of the music industry's major record label companies. It becomes the fourth in total joining Warner Music Group, Sony Music, and Universal Music Group.
Officially filing the suit on Wednesday to Grooveshark's parent company Escape Media Group, EMI claimed that the web server failed to present the company with any royalty payments or accounting statements from the music shared. According to documents obtained by the New York Times, EMI is seeking unspecified damages, including at least $150,000 in royalties.
