UMG believes that TikTok is not paying enough for the music used on its platform, while TikTok argues that it shouldn’t have to pay as much as other services like Spotify or Apple Music because it doesn’t allow users to play full-length songs. Jermaine is inclined to agree with TikTok’s stance but acknowledges the need for UMG to negotiate for fair compensation. Both companies are focused on maximizing profits, leading to a standoff. He looks forward to seeing how the situation unfolds and hopes for a resolution in the near future.Interested in connecting with Jermaine?Email: [email protected]: Breve Music StudiosSocial MediaYouTube: Breve Music StudiosFacebook: Breve Music StudiosTwitter: Breve Music StudiosInstagram: Breve Music StudiosTumblr: Breve Music StudiosFollow our ensembles on Spotify (or your favorite streaming platform)Breve Orchestra: SpotifyBreve Low Brass Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Music Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Woodwind Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Brass Ensemble: SpotifyBreve Wind Ensemble: SpotifyEquipment:HyperX QuadCast (LINK): https://amzn.to/3QynddKBeyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (LINK): https://amzn.to/445hYoK
