The SABC is being hauled to court for refusing to pay more than R28-million in music video royalties.



Two weeks ago more than 1500 members of the Recording Industry of South Africa, including the four major recording labels - Sony BMG, Warner Music Gallo Africa, EMI and Universal Music - lodged a high court action in a bid to get the SABC to cough up funds owed to them.

The Times says that it is in possession of a letter issued by Risa's operations director, David du Plessis, to its members that outlines the court action between the two parties.

Further to their demands for compensation, Risa has also applied for the SABC to be interdicted from flighting music videos on all three of its channels until payment is resolved.
