Original: Warner Music Sues Ray-Ban Owner Over 427 Songs Used in Social Media Ads

Warner Music has filed a lawsuit against EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban, accusing the eyewear giant of using 427 of its songs in social media advertising without a licence. The case, one of the largest music copyright claims tied to ads on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, is drawing attention as a test of how far brands can go using popular music online without paying rights holders.

Why now: It is a high-profile copyright battle that could set a precedent for how brands licence music in social media advertising.
