Copyright on TikTok
How do you avoid copyright on TikTok? To avoid copyright on TikTok, add a sound using the editor on the app instead of using a third-party editor. If your video already contains a copyrighted song, you can avoid copyright by adding a sound to it while you’re editing it on TikTok and decreasing its volume to zero.
Copyright and Music Usage
All the music available on TikTok is legal to use in your videos. Distributors such as Distrokid, CD Baby and TuneCore allow artists to upload their music to TikTok along with streaming platforms such as Spotify. You can also upload your own sounds yourself (music, speaking etc) that others can use.
Handling Copyright Issues
Why did my TikTok video get taken down? Quite simply, TikTok needs to exist on the global stage, so any hint of a violation, whether correct or incorrect, will result in the immediate removal. If you think it was a mistake, you can appeal the removal, or simply delete and repost if it was a mistake.
- To check if a song is copyrighted you can:
- Check if it’s in the public domain on PDINFO
- Check a video description on YouTube itself
- Upload a video as unlisted or private first to check
- Check for a copyright mark in the file name or file information
- Pay the copyright experts.
Reposting TikTok Videos
Can I repost TikTok videos? The Repost button reportedly appears under the share arrow on the right panel of the screen, where you can already send TikTok videos directly to friends or post to social media. The reposted videos won’t appear on your TikTok profile. Instead, they’ll show up only in your friends’ feeds.
