from Bloomberg News via The Seattle Times:
Microsoft, RealNetworks and Yahoo were sued by music labels that allege the companies made recordings available without getting permission.
The labels seek $150,000 for each copyright infringement and want the songs removed from the companies’ digital music stores, according to the 108-page complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Tennessee.
Songs by Aretha Franklin, the Carpenters, Grand Funk Railroad and Emmylou Harris are among those listed in the complaint. The labels allege Yahoo Music Service, RealNetworks’ Rhapsody and Microsoft’s Zune Music Service didn’t get authorization to sell music through the stores.
