Copyright infringement case against US-based energy drink Bang

By Pallavi Paul

Universal Music Group (UMG) and Capitol Records LLC, had filed a copyright infringement suit in the US District Court against energy and nutrition drink Bang for unauthorized use of their copyrighted musical works in more than 100 videos posted on the Bang and Owoc TikTok accounts (together the ‘Bang TikTok Accounts’) resulting in videos with the Bang Energy name choreographed to their copyrighted musical music. Even after confronting the Bang about the same, they stated that TikTok provided usage of the songs with a license to all its members which was false as TikTok provides no such license.

The continued copyright infringement caused substantial and irreparable harm to the complainant. The complainant filed the civil suit to stop infringement and obtain compensation for damages caused to them by the deliberate, massive and willful copyright infringement by Bang.
