Billboard: Internet Song Lyrics Legal Battle: Musixmatch Rips ‘Meritless’ LyricFind Lawsuit Over Warner Deal

Billboard’s Bill Donahue wrote up a comprehensive article covering Musicxmatch’s response to LyricFind’s antitrust lawsuit.

Months after LyricFind accused Musixmatch of seeking to monopolize the market for providing lyrics to streamers like Spotify by signing an “unprecedented” deal with Warner Music, the rival is striking back – demanding that a federal judge toss out the case entirely.
The lawsuit claims that Musixmatch violated federal antitrust laws, but in a motion to dismiss the case filed on Thursday, the company says all it did was beat a competitor.
