It was a shock to me that Michelle Phan is sued for copyright infringement because almost every YouTubers uses music from an artist and credit back either on the video or in the description box.
This breaking news came yesterday. All I know was Michelle is being sued but I have no idea what for. So I did some checking and it turns out that electronic dance music label, Ultra Records LLC and Ultra International Music Publishing LLC, which represents some of the biggest DJs in the world including Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta, is alleging that Michelle used a host of its artist’s songs in her videos without a license and is profiting from it. She currently have near 6.7 million followers on YouTube and reportedly earned 5 million in 2013.
