History
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.{{cite web|title=Fizy kapatıldı!|url=http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/id/25165246 |accessdate=17 November 2013}}
In late 2012, after the iTunes digital music store was opened,{{cite web|title=Apple Launches iTunes Store in Russia, Turkey, India, South Africa & 52 Additional Countries Today|url=https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/12/04Apple-Launches-iTunes-Store-in-Russia-Turkey-India-South-Africa-52-Additional-Countries-Today.html|publisher=Apple Inc.|accessdate=13 January 2013}} many producers pressured Mü-Yap for increased digital rights, in favor of Apple iTunes.{{cite web|title=iTunes niye Türkiye'ye geldi, MÜYAP'ın devri niçin kapandı?|url=http://www.milliyet.com.tr/itunes-niye-turkiye-ye-geldi-muyap-in-devri-nicin-kapandi-/mehmet-tez/pazar/yazardetay/23.12.2012/1645580/default.htm|accessdate=17 November 2013}} This move was considered to be the end of Mü-Yap's monopoly on digital music.
