Explicit Music at Work Sparks Sex Discrimination Lawsuits

A court has ruled that playing risqué music in the workplace may be illegal, as it could be considered sexual harassment. The ruling came after a lawsuit was filed by an employee who claimed that her boss played sexually explicit music in the office, creating a hostile work environment. The court found that the music was not protected by fair use or the First Amendment, and that the employer could be held liable for copyright infringement.
