It looks like major labels got 99 problems and Spinrilla is one. Word on the road is major labels are fed up of how there is tons of music that Spinrilla has allowed users to upload and then download without paying any royalties or compensation to the artists for sharing their music.

According to sources, UMG, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Recording Corporation and LaFace Records are all suing Spinrilla and its founder, Jeffery Dylan Copeland, in Georgia federal court. The Recording Industry Association of America will be representing the major labels and handling this legal matter.

“Through the Spinrilla website and apps, users with an artist account can upload content that any other user can then download or stream on demand for free, an unlimited number of times,” writes attorney James Lamberth in the complaint. “A substantial amount of content uploaded to the Spinrilla website and apps consists of popular sound recordings whose copyrights are owned by Plaintiffs.”

RIAA says it has identified more than 21,000 copyrighted sound recordings owned by the plaintiffs that are available through the service. The labels are suing for direct and secondary copyright infringement and are seeking actual or statutory damages and an injunction.

“Spinrilla specializes in ripping off music creators by offering thousands of unlicensed sound recordings for free,” the RIAA said in a statement about the lawsuit. “Fans today have access to millions upon millions of songs from innovative platforms and services that pay creators — this kind of illicit activity has no place in today’s music marketplace.”
