Twitter International, the owner of the platform X (formerly Twitter), does not pay for the music it uses on X. Suisa Digital is therefore now suing Twitter International for copyright infringement.
In the lawsuit before the Regional Court of Munich I, Twitter International is accused of using music represented by SUISA Digital on Platform X without a license. This was announced by Suisa Digital, the representative of the online music rights, on Wednesday. The short text messages or tweets sent on X can contain videos that are accompanied by music.
Suisa Digital has been trying unsuccessfully to negotiate corresponding license agreements with Twitter International for six months. Twitter International has neither responded to the corresponding emails nor removed the offending videos from X, according to the press release. Suisa Digital represents the copyrights for use in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and throughout Europe, hence the lawsuit in Munich.
