Music Publishers Demand Investigation of Tiktok for Copyright Theft

October 20, 2019

TikTok is the musical Vine for all the Generation Z kids. Sensor Tower reported that TikTok hit 1 billion downloads worldwide in February. Additionally, 100 million of those were in the U.S. However TikTok now faces investigation into their copyright policies. The National Music Publisher’s Association (NMPA) brought up the concern in a letter to Senator Marco Rubuio. This continues and piggybacks off of Rubio’s request to launch an investigation into TikTok over censorship concerns last week.
