PRS For Music start legal proceedings against SoundCloud
News: 27th August 2015 by Louise Dodgson under Music Publishing, Selling & Distributing Your Music

It's been on the horizon for a while...but it seems that PRS For Music cannot reach a satisfiable solution with SoundCloud over music by their songwriter members being made available with no royalty payment. Over the past 5 years this point has been negotiated and today PRS For Music stated: “We have asked SoundCloud numerous times to recognise their responsibilities to take a licence to stop the infringement of our members’ copyrights but so far our requests have not been met. Therefore we now have no choice but to pursue the issue through the courts.”
