LyricFind Sues Rival Musixmatch in Antitrust Suit Over ‘Unprecedented’ Warner Licensing Deal

The lawsuit claims that a "first-of-its-kind" agreement between Musixmatch and Warner Chappell means streamers like Spotify will have "no choice" about where to get lyrics.

LyricFind is suing Musixmatch over allegations that its rival struck an exclusive licensing deal with Warner Music Group (WMG) that’s “unprecedented in the music industry” and is aimed at securing an illegal monopoly for providing lyrics to streamers like Spotify.

In a complaint filed Wednesday (March 6) in San Francisco federal court, the Canadian-founded company LyricFind accuses Musixmatch and private equity owner TPG Global of violating federal antitrust laws by signing the deal with Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the publishing division of WMG, claiming it was designed to crush competition.
