Verizon Faces $2.6 Billion Lawsuit from Sony, Universal, and Warner Over Piracy
Jul 15, 2024, 09:46 PM
Verizon is facing a $2.6 billion lawsuit from major record labels, including Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. The lawsuit accuses Verizon of facilitating massive copyright infringement by its subscribers, particularly through P2P file-sharing networks and BitTorrent.
