File-sharing site LimeWire is being sued by a consortium of the world's largest record labels.
Universal Music, Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music Group are asking for $150,000 (£79,000) in damages for each song "wilfully infringed" by LimeWire, claiming that the company has profited from unlawful music downloads.
The US-based lawsuit claims that LimeWire's executives "have had a direct financial interest in, and derived substantial benefit from, the infringement of [the labels'] copyrighted sound recordings."
The lawsuit comes a month after peer-to-peer site
Kazaa settled out of court with record labels, paying them more than $100m.
