Nokia Vietnam is being sued by that country's equivalent of the RIAA, the Recording Industry Assotiation of Vietnam (RIAV) over downloads they're offering to mobile phone owners as part of a promotion.

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. It's possible there's more to this, but so far I haven't been able to find any source that suggests Nokia was aware of the licensing issue before the RIAV threats started. Since I'm not familiar with Vietnamese law I can't say if they may still have liability, but it certainly seems suspicious.
