NEW YORK — Universal Music Group said Monday it is seeking to join a $17 billion suit brought by music publishers against Bertelsmann AG alleging it aided the once hugely popular Napster Internet music service in piracy.
The suit by the publishers, which included rhythm-and-blues pioneers Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, was filed in February accusing Bertelsmann of perpetuating Napster’s success by investing more than $100 million in the service.
