A group of music publishers are suing Peloton for copyright infringement after the maker of video-streaming exercise bikes allegedly used more than a thousand musical works from the likes of Lady Gaga, Drake, Gwen Stefani and Justin Timberlake without permission.
The lawsuit, which seeks more than $150 million in damages, was filed in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York on Tuesday."Music is a core part of the Peloton business model and is responsible for much of the brand's swift success," David Israelite, National Music Publisher's Assocation's president and CEO, said in a statement Tuesday.
The NMPA said that since 2014 Peloton had released thousands of videos that included unlicensed music recorded by artists like Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran, Wiz Khalifa, Thomas Rhett, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Florida Georgia Line.
