A coalition of music publishers, including Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music and Sony Music Publishing, is suing Twitter over "massive copyright infringement" involving the companies' respective music catalogs.
Seventeen music publishers, who hold the rights to music from artists including Drake, Taylor Swift and Adele, filed the joint lawsuit in Tennessee federal court. They seek more than $250 million in damages.
Elon Musk's X Corp, which owns Twitter, is the sole defendant.
