However, this isn\u2019t the first time they\u2019ve been in trouble with with their treatment of copyright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last summer, David Isrealite, CEO &amp; President of the US-based publishing body NMPA said: \u201c[Triller]&nbsp;boasts \u2018millions of songs at your fingertips,\u2019 however many of those songs have not been properly licensed.\u201d He added, \u201cThe pattern of tech platforms asking for forgiveness instead of permission to use songwriter\u2019s work must stop. Triller must legitimize its business by properly licensing all music on its platform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today (February 5th) this sentiment has been echoed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universalmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universal Music Group<\/a> as they have taken it\u2019s massive catalogue from the service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A UMG spokesperson has said: \u201cWe will not work with platforms that do not value artists. Triller has shamefully withheld payments owed to our artists and refuses to negotiate a license going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have no alternative except to remove our music from Triller, effective immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triller announced in June 2018 that it had signed a licensing deal with Universal Music Group, one that is likely now void.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curiously, the big three labels, which includes Universal Music Group have shares in the service. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Tuhin Roy, a former high ranking UMG employee now has a senior role with Triller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/tiktok-files-a-patent-counter-suit-against-triller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Triller<\/a> was looking at going public this year as it secured $100m in funding and was valued at $1.25bn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UMG has removed its catalogue from the TikTok rival due to it withholding payments to artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":83514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,1,11109],"tags":[22214,22217,22216,18558,15716,22213,22215,680,22211,22212],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
