What to Consider Before Accepting an Employee Buyout
David Peters, financial advisor and CPA, joined Cheddar News to break down exactly how employee buyouts work. HE described the method as a way for companies to cut payroll costs. "One of the things to consider is how long we think we're going to be without a job," he said. "That is going to help us to look at the deal that is being offered and help us decide if that's going to be the right thing for us."

Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
