Just when the online music provider appeared to be in the clear, it has been whacked with another law suit.
MP3.com confirmed that a class action complaint for copyright infringement has been filed on behalf of Unity Entertainment and others, by Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Los Angeles.
"On behalf of both consumers and artists, we are disappointed to receive this complaint particularly in light of the strides we have made in securing licensing agreements from now all five of the major record labels," said MP3.com CEO, Michael Robertson in a statement.
In settling an earlier case, MP3.com will pay US$53.4 million -- or 22 percent of its outstanding cash and marketable securities at the end of September -- to Universal and will convert much of its Web site to a pay service in the future.
