The story

Mü-Yap was founded in 2000 with Law 5846 of the Turkish constitution. In 2010, Mü-Yap took a role in the closure of Fizy, a popular online streaming service, due to copyright claims.

In late 2012, after the iTunes digital music store was opened, many producers pressured Mü-Yap for increased digital rights, in favor of Apple iTunes. This move was considered to be the end of Mü-Yap's monopoly on digital music. In the 2013 general Mü-Yap meeting, Mü-Yap announced their withdrawal from the digital market.
