Sony Music Publishing (SMP) is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit for allegedly posting an “iconic photograph” of Stevie Wonder to its Instagram page without a license. The Sony Music Group unit was sued on Sunday (Nov. 8) by Alan Satterwhite , a photographer who shot a series of Wonder sitting at a piano in 1974. SMP allegedly included one of those photos in a 2023 Instagram carousel celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wonder’s 1973 album Innervisions , which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and spent a total of 89 weeks on the chart.
