Why only X's "Uta tte mita" clips are muted? JASRAC explains, "We have no contract with X"; YouTube and TikTok are already licensed

JASRAC said X does not have a blanket licensing deal for its managed songs, unlike YouTube or TikTok.

Posting cover videos of JASRAC-managed music on X requires individual permission and payment of usage fees.

After the explanation, some singers began muting audio in their cover posts on X to avoid copyright issues.

The case highlights that music-use rules differ across social platforms, so creators must check each service's licensing terms.
