Canada’s LyricFind submitted the firmly worded action to a California federal court, naming Italy’s Musixmatch as well as its TPG parent as defendants. Spanning a staggering 69 pages, the suit accuses Musixmatch of several Sherman Act violations and of taking various steps “to monopolize the lyric rights licensing market.”
