So I just stumbled upon an article about Elon Musk and Twitter. Apparently, music publishers are suing Twitter for copyright infringement because of tweets by Musk that included unlicensed songs.
To put it simply, Elon Musk tweeted some lyrics from a Kanye West song and also shared a meme that featured a clip from a children’s song. Both of these tweets contained copyrighted material that he didn’t have permission to use.
Now, Twitter is getting sued because they didn’t take down the tweets fast enough, even though they were notified by the music publishers.
Honestly, it’s kind of humorous to see Elon Musk getting caught up in something like this. But on a more serious note, this case brings up important questions about copyright laws and how they’re enforced online. It’s not just about celebrities like Musk using music without permission, but also about everyday people who might unknowingly share copyrighted material on social media.
Overall, this article is a reminder that we need to be more mindful of the content we share online and make sure we have permission to use it. Sorry Elon, looks like you’re not above the law after all.
