SAN FRANCISCO, United States—Major music publishers has accused Twitter of failing to stop 'rampant' copyright infringement on the platform. The National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and its members, in a federal lawsuit filed on Wednesday, June 14, argued that the social media company should pay as much as $150,000 per work infringed, with the potential tab climbing into the hundreds of millions of dollars. 'Twitter stands alone as the largest social media platform that has completely refused to license the millions of songs on its service,' NMPA chief executive David Israelite said in reply to an AFP inquiry.
