Beyoncé dancing on ‘Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai’ is something you can't miss
John Emanuele from the music group American Dollar filed the lawsuit against Tidal and Hov's Shawn Carter Enterprises over the weekend, reports aceshowbiz.com.
They claimed that the streaming service had licensed at least 118 of American Dollar's songs without permission and had not paid the group any royalties for streaming on those songs.
"Different owner, same game," read the lawsuit filed in New York federal court.
They alleged that Tidal's library was made "by dumping all of the music from independent artistes into" the service without filing proper notices.
"Independent artistes are predominantly impacted by defendants' systematic infringement," they explained, further accusing Tidal of "deliberately miscalculating the per-stream royalty rates".

Tidal has responded to the claims by Emanuele and Yesh Music Publishing. In a statement on Monday, it said it was "up to date on all royalties" owed to Yesh Music, LLC.
