Why is TikTok ruining good songs?

“I think TikTok ruins almost as many songs as they introduce to people. It’s just because people hear the same sound nonstop when scrolling through their feed [on TikTok], so they get tired of it and stop listening to the song,” Carlmont sophomore Maia Kirkbride said.

How TikTok is affecting music?

TikTok is an essential promotional tool for music artists and record labels. Songs can rise up organically on the app even if they’ve been outside the mainstream for decades. Marketers can also hire influencers to try to make a song take off, sparking a wave of user-generated posts from their fans.

Can you sue TikTok for using your song?

While TikTok may eventually face lawsuits for their use of copyrighted music, penalties will most likely not trickle down to the users. Feel free to use the music the app provides, but consider the doctrine of fair use BEFORE adding your own music.

Does it matter what song you use on TikTok?

The most important thing for TikTok users to know is that all of the music available on the platform is legal to use in your own videos. If you use the TikTok music library, you should never be subject to DMCA requests or any legal action. Royalties are paid and the music is licensed so you’re covered.
