(Reuters) - Sony Music Entertainment has dropped a lawsuit against Triller over allegations the short-form video platform used the label's music without permission, according to a filing in Manhattan federal court.

Sony Music and Triller told the court on Friday they would end the copyright case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled.
