Publishers and songwriters named in the suit as plaintiffs argue that by investing over $80M to Napster, Bertelsmann gave Napster a lifeline that allowed it to continue violating authors' copyrights in massive scale.
The plaintiffs seek damages of over $17 billion. Bertelsmann declined to comment the lawsuit today.
