MUMBAI: Eleven record labels including Warner Bros., Eleketra, Atlantic and Bad Boy have come together to sue adult websites namely RK Netmedia and RealityKings for using their music as the soundtracks and ‘inspiration’ for adult entertainment videos.
According to the lawsuit, the audio tracks are often being played in the background while “models or actors are ‘performing’ their scenes.”
The 18-page lawsuit suggests that in some cases the titles of the films have taken their inspiration directly from the songs, such as one called Bringing Sexy Back.
The record labels are demanding $150,000 for each copyright infringement listed in the suit
