Triller has raised over US$300 million in total and was sued by Sony Music for infringement
· On August 29, TikTok competitor Triller filed a new lawsuit in the United States by Sony Music Entertainment (SME).
The lawsuit alleges that Sony Music and Triller entered into a content distribution agreement in September 2016, but starting in March 2022, Triller failed to make any payments required by the agreement, totaling millions of dollars.
