Compensation for artists is the heart of the issue.

.

TikTok proposed paying our artists and songwriters at a rate that is a fraction of the rate that similarly situated major social platforms pay, UMG, via statement.

Ultimately TikTok is trying to build a music-based business, without paying fair value for the music, UMG, via statement.

As our negotiations continued, TikTok attempted to bully us into accepting a deal worth less than the previous deal, far less than fair market value and not reflective of their exponential growth, UMG, via statement.

TikTok has accused UMG of putting "their own greed above the interests of artists and songwriters.".

The fact is they have chosen to walk away from the powerful support of a platform with well over a billion users that serves as a free promotional and discovery vehicle for their talent, TikTok, via statement.

TikTok has been able to reach 'artist-first' agreements with every other label and publisher.

Clearly, Universal's self-serving actions are not in the best interests of artists, songwriters and fans, TikTok, via statement.

TikTok signed a licensing deal with Warner Music Group in 2023, NBC News reports.

Trump Delays TikTok Deal, Dangles It Over China Tariffs | “We’ll Wait Till..”— Trade War Chess Match [Video]

Trump Delays TikTok Deal, Dangles It Over China Tariffs | “We’ll Wait Till..”— Trade War Chess Match

U.S. President Donald Trump has thrown a wrench into the TikTok deal once again, signaling that the fate of the wildly popular app now depends on the outcome of ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations. While markets reel from tit-for-tat tariff hikes, Trump says he doesn’t want tariffs to “go higher” — but won’t back down unless China plays ball. With 145% tariffs already imposed on Chinese imports and Beijing refusing to play the "numbers game," is this the end of the trade war—or just the beginning of something bigger? And where does this leave TikTok’s 170 million American users? #Trump #ChinaTariffs #TikTokBan #TradeWar #ByteDance #USChina #TrumpTikTok #TikTokDeal #Geopolitics #TechNews #TrumpNews #GlobalEconomy #TariffBattle #TikTokUSA #WhiteHouse Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.194~GR.344~HT.410~
