Why do people on Facebook say I don’t own the rights to this music?
If you are not familiar; people who post a video or slide show or any content that uses music, are posting this phrase as a way to get out of copyright infringement. They believe that they are doing the right thing because they saw it on social media. The problem with this is that it is not true.
The reason why people do it, is because it makes them feel good about themselves, and it gives them a sense of control over the content they post. This is why you will see people posting music videos on YouTube, but not using music in the video. If they were to do that, they would be breaking the law.
So, if you see someone posting a music video and you don’t want them to use your song, you should tell them that you do not want to be associated with their content.
