Q: Can I publish/share projects on sites like Facebook using Music Library audio and NOT violate copyright laws?

I am using Final Cut Pro X on my Mac Mini which runs OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

 

I purchased Final Cut Pro originally and upgraded to the X version in the last 6 months.

 

I made a project using my photos and video and a tune from the Final Cut Pro X Music Library (Jarcanda) and attempted to publish on Facebook. However, Facebook removed my post because the content (Jarcanda) matches "More About Me" by Walter E.L. Scrutchings. It IS the same song.

 

What do I do?

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    TThat's one of the iLife jingles. You could contact Facebook quoting the Apple licensing agreement. You should also contact Appke legal.  Where is this track that Facebook is saying is the copyright holder?

    Credit credit credit -- in your video (not anywhere else.)

     

    The problem with Apple Loops audio is they've been around long enough for somebody else to have already used them first (by a decade now!) Once the former person has released their work publicly, it is copyright and the music used becomes part of that copyrighted work.

     

    You've seen the credits in every tv show and movie you've ever seen, use them as examples:

                                  Music by Apple, Inc.,   or   Jaracanda by Apple, Inc. (used with permission) or something like it.

     

     

    The "film industry" has rules and YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter and all the rest have to keep their butts covered — they don't want to be responsible for any individual work (they're already caught in the middle, so to speak). The content of your videos is *your* responsibility.

     

    I am convinced that even though there is automatic content matching software, there are humans with "eyes on" to make sure credit is given where credit is due and will pass your video as long as the bases are covered.
