Legal battle brewing: LyricFind sues Musixmatch for anti-competitive deals with Warner Chappell

Musixmatch, a lyric aggregator, is the target of a new lawsuit from its main competitor, LyricFind, alleging the former entered into anticompetitive deals with Warner Chappell to hinder its rivals' access to the market. The suit asserts that these exclusivity deals aimed to protect Musixmatch's monopoly, resulting in a scheme that impacts independent artists, songwriters, music publishers, and digital platforms by preventing competition in the lyrics licensing marketplace.
