Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music company, said on Friday it filed a lawsuit against popular social networking site MySpace for infringing copyrights of thousands of its artists’ works.
Universal, owned by French media giant Vivendi, filed the suit at the U.S. District Court Central District of California, Western Division.
The lawsuit accuses MySpace of allowing users to upload videos illegally and taking part in the infringement by re-formatting the videos to be played back or sent to others.
