In short
Universal and Sony are suing Musi, the app that pulls in its music from YouTube rather than having its own deals with the music industry.

Music giants Universal and Sony have initiated legal action against the mobile application Musi in Canada. The app reportedly sources its music content directly from YouTube, bypassing the need for official licensing agreements with record labels.
This operational model previously led to Musi's removal from the Apple App Store. The record labels are now seeking to establish Musi's liability for copyright infringement in the Canadian jurisdiction where the app is based. Originally reported by Complete Music Update.
