Sony Music Files Lawsuit Against Rdio Over Pandora Deal

Hollywood Reporter: The major label claims that Rdio execs induced content licensing extensions with misrepresentations, false statements and concealment of an impending bankruptcy. In a new lawsuit, Sony Music alleges it was defrauded of millions when the on-demand service Rdio came to agreement with Pandora and subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last November. The complaint filed in New York federal court targets Rdio CEO Anthony Bay, Rdio general counsel Elliott Peters and Rdio content licensing chief Jim Rondinelli.
