TikTok keeps UMG’s catalog, but the real fight is fake AI music and whether viral sounds can stay authorized and paid.

Spotify and UMG want paid AI covers to turn fan remixes into licensed revenue — if artists opt in and get paid.

Spotify and Universal are turning AI covers from gray-market fan play into a paid, licensed Premium add-on.

Spotify and Universal launch an AI remix tool letting fans create covers legally while guaranteeing artist compensation.
