Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed SoundExchange‘s $150 million lawsuit against SiriusXM, ruling that Congress has never granted the PRO the authority to file lawsuits on behalf of recording artists and record labels. In response, SoundExchange said in a statement, “SoundExchange firmly believes Judge Buchwald’s interpretation is entirely wrong on the law.”
