Record Labels Makes Monetary Demands There are countless social media platforms based on entertainment for the convenience of youngsters as they feel that it provides them an opportunity to showcase their skills. Entertainment and social media were synonymous with one another but over the years it has become a lucrative profession of sorts for many people of different age groups. TikTok too is one of the most prominent platforms in the world whose popularity has skyrocketed to a whole new level in the past few years, which is a huge feat for any entertainment platform to match up to. It has more than a billion users and counting where people make short videos for a couple of minutes that tend to go viral but since the duration of any video is barely a few minutes, almost every video includes music. Due to this, TikTok has to pay royalties to the original music owners that have the rights for their content but, as of late, many big record labels have become more demanding as they feel that the royalties don’t seem to be enough. The likes of Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, among others have asked TikTok to pay more than what they’re actually paying at the moment, which includes advertising revenue as well. TikTok’s earnings in 2021 were an annual $4 billion, which is said to increase to a whopping $12 billion by the end of 2022, which is why the recording label giants too want a share of the pie, as it is their music that has propelled TikTok to such heights.
