	Description:		Thousands of songs have disappeared from TikTok in recent months as music giant Universal Music Group, or UMG, has pulled its catalog from the app. UMG claims that TikTok is a music platform, and that TikTok needs to pay more to license its music. TikTok claims they're a marketing platform that helps labels promote their artists.

Guest: Ethan Millman, staff writer at Rolling Stone covering the music industry. Want more What Next TBD?
