Elon Musk’s X has filed an antitrust lawsuit against several major music publishers and their trade organisation, the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA).
The platform (formerly known as Twitter) alleged earlier this month that the companies and NMPA had illegally colluded to coerce X into purchasing industrywide licenses, without which they cannot host many thousands of songs.
The suit, filed January 9, alleges that both the companies and NMPA attempted to “leverage monopoly power” to compel the social media site to buy licenses from all music publishers at unfairly high rates.
