Musician sues Jay-Z’s Tidal and Google Play, says he was cheated of royalties
18 01 2017The lawsuits are all proposed class actions, as Emanuele’s lawyers believe other artists have been cheated, too.
The complaint (PDF) against Tidal was filed on Saturday. It’s received the most press attention, in part because Tidal’s marketing is based on the idea that it will pay artists more generously than other streaming services. The lawsuit claims Tidal never served a “notice of intention,” which is required to get the needed compulsory music license, and never paid the necessary royalties.
