Universal Music plans to strip its extensive song library from TikTok and UK population set to boom
In today’s VERY brief headlines from the City A.M. team… 1. Universal Music plans to strip its extensive song library from TikTok amid a raging row over failed payment negotiations. The songs giant has accused the short video clip app of unfair practices, seeking to pay significantly less than other platforms for access to its catalogue. The departure will leave TikTok without hits by major artists like Taylor Swift and Drake. https://www.cityam.com/universal-to-pull-songs-from-tiktok-while-demanding-protection-from-harmful-effects-of-ai/ 2.
