Anybody else annoyed with tik tok for removing the sound off your videos?

[KittygosMeoWW]

lol I have so many muted videos that look off now 😂🙈

[RebelinSteel]

No it’s TikTok being arseholes over paying a reasonable amount. Other music groups will likely follow suit. TikTok are the ones peoples anger needs to be directed at.

“Ultimately TikTok is trying to build a music-based business, without paying fair value for the music”.

“On AI, TikTok is allowing the platform to be flooded with AI-generated recordings—as well as developing tools to enable, promote and encourage AI music creation on the platform itself – and then demanding a contractual right which would allow this content to massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists, in a move that is nothing short of sponsoring artist replacement by AI.”

Tiktok was forced to remove the sings because they were violating the perfirmers' intellectual property, and Tiktok wasn't willing to pay for the rights to them. The performers have the right to protect their songs, and be compensated when their performances are used.

I just got one.
I found a new sound and that was it.

While TikTok may offer a platform for certain truths that governments around the world don't want their citizens to hear, they also have their own agenda and censorship is part of it. They've been known to remove sound from artists' original recordings and cite "copyright infringement" as the reason and deny any appeals. They will shadow ban creators' content if it doesn't fit their political agenda, or they will boost ones that do.

do you ever wonder if you actually said something in sign language?

[KittygosMeoWW]

No, lol I said nothing in sign

[NathanDavis]

didn't you do any of those dances? lol

if yes, it's possible that you said something in sign-language... just saying, lol

[KittygosMeoWW]

lol not really

[NathanDavis]

lmao... what do you do in these tiktoks then?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope, I refuse to ever create a tiktok account cause I know it's a tool used to spy on us by the chinese.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I’m getting spied on the videos where I’m painting pumpkins, baking bread, going to the zoo, and making diys ooooohh 👻

[ChicoFromThe305]

Did you know in the terms and conditions you signed away gallery privacy so they can access your gallery, I don't know if you remember but back in the beginning of tiktok it was called musically, well the musically in China was completely different than our version, theirs would give kids education and had other features that was good for children, they gave us the dumb version, it's like they are trying to dumb us down. 💀

[KittygosMeoWW]

Read some but not all of the tc

[ChicoFromThe305]

Fair enough

Music licensing should be irrevocable. Like musicians and labels can prevent any new use of their music, but any previously legally permitted use of it should be allowed to remain.

[Finchie40]

Why did they do that? I am going to check my videos now

[Anonymous]

Why would they remove the sound? (I don't have tiktok)

[KittygosMeoWW]

Universal pulled all of its music off the app. So now basically I have a whole bunch of awkward videos 😆

[ab2shifty]

I did some vids with my friends and they removed the sound for no reason 💀

[Danny_dan92]

That app is stupid af anyways

[KittygosMeoWW]

Why’s it stupid?

[Danny_dan92]

More than half the videos on there are people doing dumb shit cause they got nothing better to do.

[Danny_dan92]

Acting like straight imbeciles

[KittygosMeoWW]

lol that’s me

[Squatting_Slav]

[KittygosMeoWW]

[jshm2]

[Wiredone]
