On TikTok’s imposed deadline day for labels to sign direct terms to boycott Merlin, IMPALA Independent Music Companies Association has published an open letter calling for collaboration & specific action points to achieve a strong, cooperative partnership without strong-arm tactics. AIM’s interim CEO Gee Davy commented: “While some independents may be able to secure beneficial direct licenses, TikTok’s refusal to license with Merlin and self-imposed deadline today means that many will no longer have that choice. As a leader in the digital space, TikTok has an opportunity to demonstrate good practice and fulfil its stated intention to operate a level playing field and aid success “across genres and countries, established stars to those just starting out”, by re-engaging”.

We support the Statement on AI training, an open letter from thousands of musicians, artists, actors and other creators around the world. Please sign: https://lnkd.in/e33_-f7C AIM interim CEO Gee Davy commented: On behalf of the UK’s independent music community – businesses who are proud to work in partnership with artists – we support this statement from Fairly Trained. To achieve the benefits of AI for creativity, we urge policymakers not to lose sight of the need for strong copyright protections. This is vital to ensure a healthy future for those who create, invest in and release music across genres and all communities, regions and nations of the UK.”
