APM has a large catalog of songs and they are very clear about copyright and licensing their music out to large companies and brands. According to their lawsuit, the teams in question were allegedly posting videos on social media, where you could hear songs from their catalog. They allege that the teams did this in excess of 100 times. Moreover, they claim that they contacted the league numerous times but got no response. Rick Westhead has the scoop.
Only time will tell how the AHL and its teams respond to this lawsuit. If one thing is for certain, this is not the type of lawsuit you want to see your team get wrapped up in. If there is one way to describe some record labels, it is "ruthless."
