Universal Music and Meta Announce ‘Expanded Global Agreement’ for AI, Monetization and More
Meta — home to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — and Universal Music Group have announced an expanded agreement that addresses compensation and AI.
Meta — home to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and more — and Universal Music Group have announced an “expanded global, multi-year agreement that will further evolve the creative and commercial opportunities” for UMG artists and Universal Music Publishing Group songwriters across Meta’s network of platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Horizon, Threads and, for the first time, WhatsApp. This partnership builds on the recognition that music can help connect us and bring fans, artists, and songwriters closer together, not only on established platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, but also in new ways on WhatsApp, and more. We are delighted that Meta shares our artist-centric vision for respecting human creativity and compensating artists and songwriters fairly.
