National Music Publishers' Association Files Copyright Suit Against Twitter

The National Music Publishers’ Association sued Twitter Inc. , alleging it violates the copyright of songwriters by using their music on its platform without permission. Twitter is one of the only major social media platforms that doesn’t pay music rights to holders for licenses to their work. YouTube, Facebook, Snap and TikTok all have agreements that collectively pay the music industry billions of dollars a year.
