The Ying Yang Twins are among a group of artists suing CBS Interactive and it's web site, CNET.
CNET is very popular among internet users who trust the applications, drivers, etc it has for free download.
Today, a couple of those free applications may cost CBS millions according to AllHipHop.
Peer-to-peer apps Limewire, Morpheus, iMesh and Frostwire have been downloaded more than 540 million times.
The lawsuit alleges CNET was the main distributor of those softwares and that CBS Interactive profited by using a "pay per download" system, with advertisements serving as an additional revenue generator.
Other artists involved in the suit are J-Shin, Pretty Ricky, 2 Live Crew, JT Money and The Force MD's.
"Defendants are liable as vicarious infringers for the copyright infringement committed via P2P client software that Defendants created, distributed and promoted, including LimeWire and others," the lawsuit claims.
They are seeking millions in damages.
