SoundExchange royalties dispute with Music Choice to be referred to Copyright Royalty Board

On Monday (December 20), US performance rights organization SoundExchange secured a legal victory in a royalties battle with US television service Music Choice. The court decided that the case will be referred to the Copyright Royalties Board (CRB), rather than it being heard in Federal court. SoundExchange launched a lawsuit against Music Choice to recover underpaid royalties in April 2019, following an audit of Music Choice’s royalty statements.
