After a public spat with TikTok, UMG says its Meta deal will tackle AI-generated content and ensure that ‚artists and songwriters are compensated fairly,‘ especially for short-form videos.
Meta and Universal Music Group (UMG) have extended their music licensing deal.
The renewed deal will let people on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Horizon, Threads, and—for the first time—WhatsApp use songs from UMG artists and Universal Music Publishing Group (UPMG) songwriters in their content.
Financial terms of the multi-year agreement weren’t disclosed. However, the two companies have said they will continue to work together to tackle unauthorized AI-generated content and ensure that “artists and songwriters are compensated fairly,” especially for short-form videos.
