The key concern for music publishing companies is whether these companies are infringing on copyrights. While the fair use doctrine might offer a defense, it remains unclear if this will be the chosen approach. There are concerns that music generated by these platforms closely resembles existing artists’ work, raising questions about potential copyright infringement. Despite the uncertainty, the outcome of this legal battle could pave the way for more artists to utilize such platforms legally without fear of copyright lawsuits from major publishing companies.

The social media platform is seeking to hire a music content investment lead and a music content investment manager to assist in acquiring copyrights for songs. This move is strategic for TikTok as it could potentially lead to increased revenue from lucrative music copyrights, especially if a song becomes popular. By owning more music on their platform, TikTok can reduce its reliance on major publishing companies. Even a small percentage of TikTok videos using music owned by the platform could significantly impact savings over time due to the platform’s massive daily viewership.Source: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/tiktok-is-forming-an-investment-team-to-acquire-music-content-and-companies/
