China-Singapore Jingwei, March 6 According to Reuters local time 5**, Musk's social ** platform X won most of the lawsuits filed by 17** publishers on Tuesday, which accused X of infringing the copyright of nearly 1,700 songs by allowing users to publish ** without permission.
According to the report, in June last year, Sony**, Universal** and the National Music Publishers Association (National Music Publishers'Association) sued X for more than 2$500 million. They accuse X of often ignoring and encouraging copyright infringement to gain an advantage over authorized platforms such as Meta, Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc.
The publisher also said that the problem has become more serious since Musk bought Twitter.
U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger in Nashville, Tennessee, reportedly said that publishers cannot adopt a "comprehensive general tort liability" theory against X. She dismissed two infringement claims and dismissed a third, "contributory" infringement claim, but alleged that X did not properly regulate "verified" users and serial infringers and failed to act quickly enough on the takedown notice.
In a 21-page decision, Trauger said that X was not liable for direct infringement, reflecting the distinction between active infringers under federal copyright law and parties such as X who merely provided a platform for them. She also said that X is not liable for "** infringement, saying that X is not responsible for regulating how posts are drafted or obtaining prior copyright permission."
The publisher's lawyer did not respond, and X's lawyer, Alex Spiro, also declined to comment, the report said. (Zhongxin Jingwei app).
