Meta and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced on Monday the expansion of their multi-year music licensing agreement, which enables users to share songs from UMG’s music library across Meta’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Horizon, Threads and WhatsApp) without violating copyright. 

What’s most notable about the new agreement is that it states that the two companies are addressing “unauthorized AI-generated content.” This refers to songs being scraped by AI systems, often without the consent of the original creators. Artists and songwriters are increasingly grappling with AI fakes and their work being used by AI companies to train their models.

“We look forward to continuing to work together to address unauthorized AI-generated content that could affect artists and songwriters so that UMG can continue to protect their rights both now and in the future,” Michael Nash, chief digital officer and executive vice president at UMG said in a statement.
