The platform formerly known as Twitter has dismissed a suit against them for the illegal use of music on their platform.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Elon Musk owned social media giant faced a copyright infringement lawsuit earlier in the year from a group of major music publishers. NMPA brought the suit to light on behalf of 17 music publishers, claiming that X (once Twitter) benefits from music on the platform without paying royalties for the use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, NMPA Chief Executive David Israelite said: “Twitter stands alone as the largest social media platform that has completely refused to license the millions of songs in its service.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The social media company has requested that the case be dismissed by the court. The music publishers have fought back in an opposition of the motion to dismiss<\/a> stating that there is ample evidence to fight the case with $250 million in damages on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case, the music publishers claim that the social media company doesn’t have a proper policy in place for dealing with repeat copyright infringements. They also claim they do not respond to takedown requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They add that from the upload of music content to X, X Corp. are able to draw in advertising revenue from the engagement on the illegal uses of music. They quote X themselves saying that “people are more likely to follow a music-related account than any other type of accounts”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with a strong case, it seems all parties might be in for a long, protracted affair. Musk wrote last year: “My commitment: We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win. We will never surrender\/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
