Facebook, is the largest social network currently, which already has more than 2 billion active users, has been studying the possibility of collaborating with Universal Music Studio, one of the most important music industries of the moment. Recently, both companies have announced the completion of a collaboration agreement that will last several years. This alliance tries to offer discographic contents to all the companies that belong to the social network giant Facebook, like Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, etc. This makes Universal Music the first music company to offer its content for other experiences beyond the listening and playback of content. This agreement aims to work, for now, through two ways: to allow artists to have other ways of presenting their work and to make it easier for users to use such works or publications, without having to be aware of their copyright. They have enough permission to do it, making the experience unique. This is intended to help users in copyright infringement problems that may fall when sharing music on the platform. The social network giant Facebook affirms that this is the first step, and has commented that it will work with UMG to introduce “products based on songs” on its platforms. Although Universal Music Group is the first company to sign a license agreement with Facebook, it will not be the last, as Mark Zuckerberg’s company was in several conversations with Warner Music Group and Sony Music Group, according to sources. The social network giant Facebook has started with the negotiations of the music companies in 2015, as it was trying to discover a way to incorporate music into its services. As these negotiations progressed, Facebook concentrated on addressing the problems of copyright infringement on its platform, a move that would leave users of the platforms and the music industry happy.
