Earlier, in an attempt to leverage Warner/Chappell Music's (WCM) local Indian publishing rights, WMG which has some big-ticket artists like Katy Perry and Led Zeppelin in its kitty, filed for an injunction against Spotify over licensing rights in the country.
Spotify replied, saying the WMG revoked a previously agreed upon publishing licence for reasons wholly unrelated to the company's launch in the country. (IANS)
