Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau.

The app clearly says up to 30% of the popular songs could be lost. Some industry estimates indicate up to 80% of all music on this popular app could be muted. That is because of split copyrights.

That would also include songs by artists on other labels, including the two remaining majors, Sony and Warner, and hundreds of independents. What a step!

Universal's music was licensed to TikTok until earlier this year - but they let the license lapse after failing to reach an agreement over how much the app should pay artists.
