A Chinese copyright association has asked Kuaishou Technology to delete 10,000 videos it said infringes intellectual property rules, days before the online short-video firm is set to list its shares in Hong Kong this week.
The China Audio-Video Copyright Association (CAVCA), a non-profit government-backed organization, said in a statement it found more than 155 million videos on Kuaishou that uses music for which it has copyright oversight, without its permission.
