Chuck D is Latest to Sue Over Digital Downloads
In the last few days a number of artists have filed lawsuits against Universal Music Group- but this time it's a BIG DEAL following a federal judge's decision
The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court and alleges that UMG routinely miscalculates the royalties owed to artists for digital downloads, such as MP3s and ringtones, by treating them as “sales” of physical records rather than “licenses.”
Chuck D's complaint follows on the heels of a federal judge's decision on Tuesday to move forward on a similar consolidated class action brought by Rob Zombie and the estate of Rick James.
