Universal Music Group NV has filed a lawsuit against French record label Believe SA seeking damages of at least $500 million over copyright infringement.
The Netherlands-based record label argued that Believe’s growth and profitability in recent years was achieved by “operating as a hub for the distribution of infringing copies of the world’s most popular copyrighted recordings,” according to a complaint filed in Manhattan’s Southern District of New York.
