Five of the industry's top record companies SM Entertainment, Yedang Entertainment, YBM Seoul, JYP Entertainment and EiJi Entertainment sued the streaming Internet music site Bugsmusic for $10 million on a Seoul court on August 14. The 5 companies accused Bugsmusic of offering copied music files of their music without their permission and sought to seek that much amount as compesation. Also on August 12 SM, Yedang, JYP and YG Entertainment sued Maxmp3 and Puckii for copyright infringement. Both Maxmp3 and Puckii are paid streaming sites unlike Bugmusic which is a free site.

UPDATE!!

The music companies demanded service to be stopped for more than 3,600 songs included the latest from Boa, Fly to the Sky, Bi, Seven, Big Mama and Loveholic among others. These charges are the latest example of the music industry's determined crackdown on streaming music sites after shutting down virtually all MP3 download sites last year. Meanwhile album sale charts continue to show a slumping trend for the latest Kpop albums.

I didn't bookmark their site, but IIRC it was (note tense!) www.bugsmusic.com, and if I'm correct it is now gone. That sucks.


Phooey!

Isn't solid's music MIDIs? I don't remember -.-;; If they are MIDIs, they can't get sued for it.... since... i think since there is no lyrics? Not quite sure.... but if they are MP3s... that might explain why it's been down for like 5 days o.o;;
