The lawsuit claims that, regardless of previously successful efforts to reach licensing agreements through the Audiam digital music rights organization, the music is illegally duplicated and synchronized into visual recordings.
“Although not licensed, the recording of the composition of eight miles has been reproduced and synchronized with visual content on the meta platform,” the complaint said. Furthermore, accusing that the executive of Meta “is actively encouraging rampant violations” to increase the involvement of user and advertising revenue – advertising reported is 97.8% of the total meta revenue in 2023.
