    Hello,
    Got notification today that a cover of a song, my band covering an ed Sheehan song, which I uploaded to my Facebook page was removed as I was using someone else's intulectial property.
    Or something like that!
    Been putting my vids up many year without problem. Is it an infringement of Facebook rules or is someone just being prissy? Is it a new rule?
    Don't want my page closed down.
    Am I supposed to remove all cover songs on my page?
    Advice please. 🙂

    New rule, you don't own a license to put it up. Facebook does not have the same licenses as Youtube, the content owner can not monetise you FB post so it gets taken down.

    Universal have been the 1st company to target FB about it.
