After years of demanding that Twitter license music, the NMPA’s members are filing a sweeping lawsuit that says the platform “harms music creators.”
. In it, the two leaders called for social media platform to license music and noted that in the last year, music creators had sent over 2 million notices to Twitter of unlicensed and infringing appearances of copyrighted music on the platform, more than 200,000 of which were of unreleased songs. “The company’s response to date has been totally inadequate,” the article lamented.
Licensing for games, social media and other applications is quickly becoming a major component of music publishers’ income. At, NMPA announced that licensing from new revenue streams — like Twitch, Roblox, Peloton and others — now account for 29.1% of music publishers’ income, something that is expected to only rise over time.
In the lawsuit against Twitter, the publishers noted that TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat had all entered into such broader licensing deals, enabling their users to use copyrighted music while still compensating songwriters. Twitter, they wrote, cannot not continue to be the exception.
“Twitter is seizing for itself an artificial competitive advantage against companies that are not violating copyright law, undercutting existing markets, cheapening the value of music and undermining publishers’ well-established business models,” lawyers for the publishers wrote.
