@manlycoffee the music licensing tho

@Jeremiah TikTok is one of the places where I discover music.

Do you have experience with something like it?

@manlycoffee A TikTok-like app cannot be built for the fediverse until there is a music licensing model to do so legally.

As an individual, I can buy a song download and sync it to my video, but if I post the video online, I will be sued for illegal distribution by the record label and not having sync rights by the publisher. Every server operator receiving the video would be liable as well.

Ideally, we need a legal framework like what DMCA did for online radio royalties.
