The BBC reports that US rock group The Allman Brothers Band have sued a record company for failing to pay money earned from digital sales, including tracks sold on iTunes.

Four of the band's members are seeking more than $10m (£5.2m), and said they were victims of "digital exploitation" in legal papers filed in New York.

Record company UMG has so far declined to comment on the claims.

The band, formed in 1969, scored several hit albums and have been called the architects of Southern rock music.

They are seeking royalties for songs recorded with Capricorn Records from 1969-1980 and claims they have not been paid the "correct rate" for downloads, ringtones and newly-pressed CDs.
