GVL obtains temporary injunction against Sonixcast

The injunction prohibits Sonixcast from creating the false impression that web radio operators in Germany can legally broadcast in Germany with a licence of the Canadian authors' society SOCAN. In fact, this licence does not cover neighbouring rights and obligations to pay licence fees which GVL usually collects on behalf of performing artists and record labels. GVL has now served the temporary injunction to Sonixcast which has not been legally binding so far.
