Nokia: Comes with pirated music?

Exactly. They're supplying music without licensing and Nokia, who seems to be acting in good faith and is arguably just a victim here, is being sued for it.

Since I'm not familiar with Vietnamese law I can't say if they may still have liability, but it certainly seems suspicious.
