Universal Music has launched the established media industry’s first legal action against rapidly growing user-generated websites by filing copyright suits against start-ups Grouper.com and Bolt.com.

In separate lawsuits, Universal alleged that Grouper and Bolt had built up traffic by encouraging users to share music videos from its artists without their permission.

Universal publicly threatened to sue YouTube before changing tack and signing a partnership with the company last week to distribute its music videos.

Universal was persuaded after YouTube agreed to pay a small licensing fee for the material and to share associated advertising revenues
