Roblox getting sued (again) by musicians and music labes becuase users can upload pirated copyrighted content to the audio library of Roblox. This is a problem, because players can use them for free, while musicians remain moneyless and creditless.

Quotes from the article:

The NMPA filed suit yesterday on behalf of several major music publishers. It accuses Roblox — a massively popular, kid-focused platform for games and social experiences — of hosting a shared library of copyrighted but unlicensed songs. The complaint alleges that Roblox “actively preys on its impressionable user base and their desire for popular music, teaching children that pirating music is perfectly acceptable.”

Roblox responded to the complaint on its website. “We are surprised and disappointed by this lawsuit which represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Roblox platform operates, and will defend Roblox vigorously as we work to achieve a fair resolution,” the statement says. It notes that Roblox has partnered with music labels for authorized events like a Lil Nas X concert last year, and the company signed a licensing deal with APM Music in 2018. “We do not tolerate copyright infringement, which is why we use industry-leading, advanced filtering technology to detect and prohibit unauthorized recordings.”
