We are delighted at the confirmation of Sync Stories, as our USA Sub Publisher for our Production Music Library. Eric is one of the main music supervisors for Universal Pictures and they have a track record of placements that would make any company envious. Lucky us and what a privilege that they loved our music and have taken us on.

My music to the 2X BAFTA winning TV show, Timmy Time is aired daily in 150 countries. The PRS say they collect royalties from 150 countries with the help of ICE but I only receive royalties from 38 countries. I will find out why and find that missing 75% of our royalties which we are not getting.
Don’t forget you will always be able to contact me here with any questions or ideas you want put to the board should I make it.
Yours,
Mike

Good on Universal Music standing up against Tik Tok! They are ripping the artists off and will eventually drop the writers for AI. Its not acceptable. I'd be interested in any thoughts or comments.
We want to reach out to our UMPG songwriters and artists with an update on TikTok.
TikTok is removing UMPG songs because there is no license in place. As you may have heard, to-date, they have not agreed to recognize the fair value of your songs, which so many other digital partners around the world have done.
As we previously addressed in our open letter, in addition to fair compensation for your songs, the negotiations have also focused on two other critical and equally important issues: protecting you, human artists and songwriters, from the harmful effects of AI; and online safety for TikTok’s users, including your fans which include young children.
TikTok’s intentions with respect to AI are increasingly apparent. While refusing to respond to our concerns about AI depriving songwriters from fair compensation, or provide assurances that they will not train their AI models on your songs, recent media reports reveal “TikTok and ByteDance leaders have long wanted to move the app beyond music.” Reflecting on our open letter, other commentators have noted where this distancing from the music industry could lead, fueled by AI: “TikTok has an incentive to push the use of these AI recordings rather than the copyrighted and licensed recordings.”
Every indication is that they simply do not value your music.
We understand the disruption is difficult for some of you and your careers, and we are sensitive to how this may affect you around the world. We recognize that this might be uncomfortable at the moment. But it is critical for the sustained future value, safety and health of the entire music ecosystem, including all music fans.
As always, UMPG will only support partners that value songwriters, artists and your songs. We have a long history of successfully fighting for our songwriters and will continue to do so. You should expect nothing less from us.
