    Warner Music sues six Ray-Ban-linked eyewear companies over unlicensed music in social media adverts

    Lawsuit filed

    A Warner Music lawsuit filed in New York on 9 October 2026 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York accuses six EssilorLuxottica-linked companies — Luxottica Group S.p.A., Luxottica of America, Oakley, Chapter 4 Corp., Costa Del Mar and Eye Buy Direct — of using copyrighted music in social media adverts for eyewear brands including Ray-Ban, Oakley and Sunglass Hut without permission. The 23 Warner-affiliated plaintiffs allege unauthorised use of at least 427 sound recordings and musical compositions, including direct, contributory and vicarious copyright infringement, and seek up to $150,000 in statutory damages per work. The allegations are Warner's account and have not been tested by the court.
