| ==Notable History== | |||
| In 2005, the company signed on electronic music superstar ] when the company head Melleefresh discovered the artist where the two collaborated on a number of releases under the Play Records duo Freshmau5<ref></ref>. | |||

| In October 2015, Play Records is sued by deadmau5 in a multi-million dollar lawsuit over a breach of contract for the tracks he had previously transferred ownership to<ref>{{cite journal |last=Gardner |first=Eric |title=Deadmau5 Sues Over Remixes and Mashups |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/deadmau5-sues-remixes-mashups-834630 |dead-url= |journal=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=4 March 2016 }}</ref>, claiming that Play Records released remixes of these tracks without his consent as the agreement didn't include a waiver of his moral rights. This infringement is a lesser known right in the Canadian legal system for Copyright law that grants authors the right to protect their moral rights and is one of the few instances in Canadian case law on the subject.<ref></ref> | |||
