Sony Music Sues United Airlines Over In-Flight Music; Hollywood Reporter, 10/23/13
Eriq Gardner, Hollywood Reporter; Sony Music Sues United Airlines Over In-Flight Music:
"On Tuesday, Sony Music and various subsidiary labels brought a lawsuit against United Airlines, Inflight Productions and Rightscom over copyrighted music being made available through in-flight systems.
According to a complaint filed in New York federal court, the defendants are duplicating sound recordings and music videos, installing the allegedly infringed copies to servers located on board aircraft and then transmitting performances to passengers. All without paying any baggage fees."
