Twitter Being Sued By The National Music Publishers Association For Copyright Infringement

The National Music Publishers Association is suing Twitter on behalf of 17 music publishers, including Warner, Universal, and Sony.

NMPA is accusing the platform of copyright infringement due to its failure to license and pay for music featured on the app.

According to reports, Twitter is being sued for up to $250 million over “roughly 1,700 works for which it received hundreds of thousands of takedown notices.”

The court filing said, “Twitter fuels its business with countless infringing copies of musical compositions, violating Publishers’ and others’ exclusive rights under copyright law.”

It further states that Twitter hasn’t “secured licenses for the rampant use of music being made on its platform,” and that it hosts and streams “infringing copies of musical compositions, including ones uploaded by or streamed to Tennessee residents.”

It continues, “Twitter’s unlawful conduct has caused and continues to cause substantial and irreparable harm to Publishers, their songwriter clients, and the entire music ecosystem. Twitter’s unlawful conduct enriches Twitter at Publishers’ and their songwriters’ expense and to the detriment of their copyrighted musical compositions.”

In 2021, the platform was notified of over 300,000 tweets that violated copyright. The NMPA stated that the platform “often waited weeks, a month, or even longer” to remove posts.
