Recently, X Corp.—the company formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Elon Musk—filed a lawsuit against several major music publishers, including Universal Music Publishing Group, Sony Music Publishing, and Warner Chappell Music. X alleges that these publishers have submitted massive volumes of false copyright infringement notices on its platform, resulting in the wrongful removal of legitimate content, disrupting normal operations, and infringing upon users’ freedom of expression. The company claims this conduct violates the ‘good faith’ requirement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and may even constitute abuse of the copyright system to suppress competition or restrict platform functionality. This legal action reflects X’s more aggressive stance on content moderation and copyright enforcement since Musk took over. Musk has repeatedly criticized current copyright laws as overly restrictive and advocates for reducing reliance on automated copyright filters. If successful, this case could significantly reshape the balance of power between social media platforms and rights holders, and potentially prompt Congress to reevaluate certain provisions of the DMCA.
近日，埃隆·马斯克旗下的X公司（原推特）对多家大型音乐出版商提起诉讼，包括环球音乐出版集团、索尼音乐出版公司和华纳查普尔音乐公司等。X公司指控这些出版商在平台上大规模提交虚假的版权侵权通知，导致大量合法内容被错误删除，严重干扰了平台正常运营，并损害了用户表达自由。X公司认为，这种行为违反了《数字千年版权法案》（DMCA）中关于“善意”提交侵权通知的规定，甚至可能构成滥用版权机制以打压竞争对手或限制平台功能。此次诉讼也反映出X公司在马斯克接手后，对内容审核政策和版权管理机制采取了更激进的立场。马斯克本人多次公开批评现行版权制度过于严苛，主张平台应减少对自动化版权过滤系统的依赖。此案若胜诉，或将对社交媒体平台与版权方之间的权力平衡产生深远影响，也可能促使美国国会重新审视DMCA的相关条款。
