More music leaving TikTok over Universal row

Recently, there has been a growing controversy surrounding music rights on TikTok. Several artists and labels have announced that they will be removing their music from the popular social media platform due to a dispute with Universal Music Group.

It all started when Universal Music Group, one of the largest music corporations in the world, demanded higher royalties from TikTok for the use of their artists’ songs on the platform. TikTok refused to meet these demands, leading to Universal threatening to pull their music from the app.

Since then, artists such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Drake have announced that they will be removing their music from TikTok in solidarity with Universal. This has caused a ripple effect, with other artists and labels following suit.

As a result, TikTok users may start to notice a significant decrease in the amount of popular music available on the platform. This could have a major impact on the user experience, as music plays a central role in many TikTok videos.

It remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved and whether TikTok will be able to reach agreements with Universal and other music rights holders. In the meantime, TikTok users may have to get creative with their song choices as more and more music leaves the platform.
