Hello, I am a musician and I want to promote my own song with TikTok videos.
In iMusician, from the shops I did choose TikTok

But now, when I go to upload the Tiktok video with my song, TikTok blacks the video saying there is a Copyright Claim and that if I upload the video it will be muted.

It is important for me to be able to promote my music on TikTok.
Also interestingly when I look for Commercial Sounds in TikTok, my name does not appear.
So what is the solution?
My experience is nothing like the instructions you have in your help section.

Should I remove TikTok from the stores I have distributed the song to?
I there a way to White List a channel in TikTok so that it does not put copyright claim.?

Hello @dariointernet,

Have you made sure not to use a Business account ? This prevents you from accessing and using coyrighted music on your content.

I created a tiktok account like any other person. I am not a business. So, I don’t think when I signed up I clicked anything saying I’m a business. However, I do boost posts, or paid advertisement on ads.tiktok.com. I wonder if using that, converts an account into business? I want to be a regular account but be able to boost/advertise my content.
Also, despite it identifying that the song has copyright and muting it, the song still doesn’t appear in Audio search in TikTok.
I think imusician.pro should look at this sort of issues because musicians have to use TikTok to promote themselves.

Hello @dariointernet,

Here’s what’s written on the link you have provided :

Using paid ads seems to convert your profile to a Business account, therefore it explains why you are not finidng your track for the reason I mentionned previously.

I have a similar concern: whether I promote a video featuring my song using a business ad account or just boost the ad, the audience will still be unable to use my song/sound in their videos due to copyright issues. I hope iMusician can review this matter more closely.

@Zeeg,

If the people who try to use your music own Business accounts, they will not be allowed to because they are limited to TikTok’s royalty-free music. You can refer to TikTok’s Music Terms of Service for more info.

iMusician only has control over the delivery to the platform. Once the music is available on the shop, any issue related to the usage of the content inside said shop needs to be adressed with them directly as we have no control over this.

Best,
