Universal and Sony sue music app Musi for copyright infringement

Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment have initiated a lawsuit against the music app Musi. The app sources its music from YouTube, bypassing direct licensing agreements with the music industry.

This practice previously led to Musi's removal from the Apple App Store. The major labels are now seeking to hold Musi liable for copyright infringement in Canada, where the company is based. Originally reported by Complete Music Update.
