UNIVERSAL MUSIC SET TO PULL SONGS FROM TIKTOK

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Universal Music Group has accused TikTok of bullying, saying the company wanted to pay a fraction of the rate other social media sites pay for access to its music catalog. As a result, Universal will stop licensing its content to TikTok when its contract expires on January 31. This will remove TikTok’s access to music from artists like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Drake.
