Epidemic Sound just dropped a second lawsuit against Meta for copyright stuff, and this time they're going after the tech company for ripping off 1,000 tracks across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The Stockholm-based music company filed the complaint in a California federal court and is looking for up to $150 million in damages since Meta apparently keeps serving up their catalog through Audio Library and features like Original Audio without paying anything.
The wild part is that Meta already got sued back in 2022 for the same thing, and that case is still going. Epidemic says Meta keeps denying them access to Rights Manager for Music, which is basically the tool that would let them track and stop people from stealing their stuff on the platform. The company claims Meta threatened to cut off their access entirely if they kept asking about it.
