IFPI said that the decision by the Court of Appeal “confirms that TuneIn can only operate with appropriate licences from right holders and therefore cannot continue to blatantly disregard its obligation to ensure that its service is lawful.

“This is a big win for those investing in and creating music, reaffirming that services, like TuneIn, which generate revenues by providing online access to recorded music must be licensed to do so. Operating lawfully with an appropriate licence is essential if music creators are to be fairly compensated”. To read IFPI’s statement on its website, click here.
