Aimee Mann is [suing](http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/25/59674.htm?ref=hypebot.com) MediaNet for $18M claiming distribution of her music without permission. MediaNet provides licensing and backend services to dozens of major sites including Songza and turntable.fm. Frank Johnson, CEO of MediaNet responds:

“This claim on behalf of Aimee Mann is without merit. MediaNet has had a  
license for her music since December 2003\. We have been paying royalties  
regularly to her agents on her behalf. MediaNet is a supporter of artist rights  
and copyright and has been since we launched in 2001\. We expect this matter  
will be resolved.”
