**UMG Legal Actions: ‘On the West, We Hold Court in the Streets’**
Universal Music Group (UMG) has taken legal action against multiple parties in recent weeks, showcasing its commitment to protecting its intellectual property and artists’ rights.
In one high-profile case, UMG sued six individuals for allegedly distributing unauthorized Taylor Swift music recordings on social media platforms. The company is seeking unspecified damages for the infringement of her copyrighted work.
The lawsuit comes as Swift’s album “Midnights” continues to break records around the world. Her devoted fan base has been accused of using their online presence to promote pirated copies of the album, which UMG claims have caused significant financial losses.
Meanwhile, another high-profile case involving an artist’s music being used without permission has also gained attention in the industry. It appears that a popular dance instructor has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing several students during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
The suspect, who was 18 at the time of the incident, pleaded not guilty to murder charges and is currently awaiting trial.
