I got a copyright strike against an original improvised song of mine. Went to submit the counter claim and tiktok didnt give me a report number or any information I need for the form. All they said was they muted my sound. This makes me not want to share my music having to jump through hoops like this. So pissed off right now.

Hey, I know your frustration, this is why I used this work around for my own music. The problem is that TikTok's systems fingerprint and place their own metadata on any music they acquire from music distributors, so that their systems will recognize the music within any videos, like how KZread has Content ID. So even if you use your own music edited the way you want, TikTok just sees it as copyrighted music used without permission, so you have to link it with music they already approved to work around the problem. Now this may only work for awhile till till TikTok updates something, but do what you can for now. Hope this helps, stay safe.

@TieDyeKitty

Hi Cody, thanks for your question. Once you use a distributor to release your music, it will become licensed for use within those platforms that gives you the right to use it more than anyone else, the problem is these platforms dont know who you or that you actually wrote your song. So you can either take the safe path and notify them via the Counter Notification Form as soon as you have your official song meta data so that their automated systems don't clamp down on your content. Or you take the chance and Leave things the way they are, you will then run the risk of TikTok muting your audio later on. If they mute your audio because you dont want to loose your views, you will have to send in the Counter Notification Form, but your audio may be muted for a few weeks for all I know. So my advice is to submit the Counter Form the day after I upload, because it will take approx. 3 weeks to a month before your music is released anyway. My second piece of advice is to set your release date a minimum of ONE MONTH after upload, in order for it to be available worldwide at the same time. Please watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJt_yLGNZKW2mKg.html PS: Thanks for the sub!

Try a shorter section in the middle of your track. Had the same problem, but I'm trying to promote my track before a release. I found Tik Tok muted the sound with a 1 minute preview starting from the beginning every time, but I notice they don't block a lot of remixes, dj set etc, and bunch of my other tracks. Anyways I was able to post a shorter snippet, about 25 seconds, of my track starting in the middle of the track. Hopefully it stays that way.

Anything outside of that in most cases gets muted.

It's ridiculous that I upload same video two times and all been muted in short time... 1 has BGM from tiktok's official edit app "capcut", and been muted in an hour. 2 has BGM from other website which provide "free for commercial and non-commercial use" music, and been muted in 1 minute.

The problem with free beats is two fold, the first issue is if 10 different people used that beat to record a song, the first one to upload a song with it, that song would become the "Original release" and everyone else that then uploads would get a copyright claim. The second problem, when the person that produced the beat decides to monetize that beat a couple months or years after he released it, everyone that used the beat will get a copyright claim. So don't ever use free beats. It will come to bite you in the butt later on, because you don't own the copyright its toooo risky, the producer of the beat could claim any money your song made if it becomes a hit.

Hey Charity, so sorry to hear you got muted, but TikTok and all social media platforms use music in some way, and most of that music is copyrighted and one of the ways this copyright is policed is through some sort of audio fingerprinting system, so once new music is uploaded, its compared to what is already protected. At this point, if the new audio sound like something already in the system, it will get flagged and then muted until permissions are given. In your case, most Crystal Sound Bowls sound the same, so if anyone used one in the beginning of a song perhaps, your audio will get muted.

So... can you still pay for more views (promote your video) using ticktoks music Playlist and then just turn down the volume?

@TieDyeKitty

2 жыл бұрын

That is a great question! So let me give you my best educated answer (I could be wrong) Your plays on TikTok count as STREAMs, so maybe if you pay to promote, it may be looked upon as Paying for streams, and because of that the system may not allow it coming from your profile. As dumb as it might be, that is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. But I now strongly believe that using TikTok to promote an artists music is the wrong way, so I would advise to use the platform to promote the Artists as an Artist, because the music is only one aspect of that person.

What about if you are playing a solo over someone else's song? I see a lot of musicians adding solos etc to a popular song on TikTok. But when I try to do the same is constantly mutes and gives a copyright warning!? It's frustrating when other people seem to do it just fine but i'm a small creator and it won't let me do the same!

Hi there Chuuya, once you use something that you did not create without permission, you are in violation. Now don't be alarmed by it, but all music online is sort of "finger printed" in order to make sure starving artist like myself can get the $0.0005 every-time someone uses one of our songs as a stream or on a video. So music services like TikTok get the permissions needed to supply you the music to use, but they have to encode the version they have so that when someone uses a song they can pay the correct artist, so when you use your own copy from a CD TikTok will stop it. The only other reason they will mute the audio is if the audio had profanity in it that went against TikTok's community guidelines. Hope this helped, and thanks for a great question!

What about if you made a soundtrack in my DAW, but its not finished but want to use a snippet. So the music is not copyrighted because first of all I only use it for enjoyment and second I don't promote my music. How do I prove to TikTok is my music.

HI, well please do not take my reply the wrong way, I am not trying to put you down in any way. Even tho you say that you make music for enjoyment and do not promote it, the fact that you are so excited about the song that you want to share it before it is even finished says something. It means that you are passionate and want to Share it, that means you want people to hear it, so by making a video is to promote it. I would say, finish song, copyright, release and only then make your video. Because copyright works like this: if someone takes your song and makes their own version and registerers that song, they will own the copyright. They can even take you to court to say that your song infringed on their copyright because you don't have the copyright for your song. And if you did have that copyright registration in hand, you could send TikTok a copy as proof that the music is yours also. Hope this helps, chat soon George!

Hi Remzel, once the music is your own, that means you already own the copyright and there is no need to try filling out the form in order to try and clear your own music. The real problem is understanding the way that TikTok licenses your music for use on the platform, it seems they are only really allowed a maximum of around 30 sec because TikTok was made for short form content. This is why its best to just make short videos with the music they provide from your catalog.

I appreciate your video. Please excuse my venting - there's absolutely no frustration directed at you. I would absolutely accept this fix as a minor annoyance if they would at least let you add audio from the desktop app. This is incredibly frustrating because the only way I can upload my own music video to TikTok is to create the video on my PC, put it on cloud storage, get on my phone and download it to my phone, then open the TikTok app to upload it and continue with this workaround. That's a ridiculous number of step for what should be a, at max, 2-click process.

@TieDyeKitty

3 күн бұрын

Sorry for the late reply, I understand why you would want to do this, but its not the copyright you need to disable, because copyright is the reason you get paid. You are looking for a way to make your music accessible for free, so that people can use it and the music may gain popularity over time. This falls under the music recognition software mainly KZread Content ID and apps like Shazam. To be honest, I do not think there is any way around this, because every song uploaded through a music distributer is put through this sort of software to scan for copyright issues to begin with, otherwise there would be millions of copyright claims clogging up our court systems. If you would like people to use your music, you may have to put a notice out asking people to email you to obtain a free licence to use the song, so if they run into any problems, that document will clear them for any future use.

Hi Rahim, that could be very very risky for you, so I wont advice it at all because you stand the chance of ending up in court. Someone created that song and owns the copyright, even if they have not listed it on the website. That maybe someone else found the song, liked it and posted it on their website for the sake of content without the owner even knowing, so if you try to claim, you end up with the headache. Another thing to keep in mind, is that many artist post song on websites trying to get exposure, and years later monetize that same song. My point is, for your own safety, just don't ever use "Free Music" cause it never really is free.
