Using Copyrighted Music
Put simply, you can legally use music in videos if you have permission from the person, people, or company who owns the rights. Since the publisher and the record label usually hold music rights, you’ll have to get permission from both. From the publisher or composer, you’ll get a synchronization (or sync license).
Copyright Infringement Penalties
The legal penalties for copyright infringement are:
- Infringer pays the actual dollar amount of damages and profits.
- The law provides a range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed.
- The Court can issue an injunction to stop the infringing acts.
TikTok Views
-
Is 500 views on TikTok good?
- If you want fame and fortune from one of your videos, then 500 views are not going to cut it. Five hundred views an hour is undoubtedly going to be headed more towards the direction you will need to get what you want out of your TikTok video.

-
Why are my TikTok videos not getting views?
- If you upload a video to TikTok that is not your own, the software will know. It will then block the video from being uploaded—therefore, even if you view it yourself 1000 times, it will still show up with 0 views. Therefore, you must make sure that all content being uploaded to TikTok is your own.
-
Is 3000 views on TikTok good?
- Videos that get between 1000–3000 views mean you have a mid-tier account.
- Videos that get 10,000+ views mean you have a “head” account.
