TikTok has tightened its music licensing rules as of 25 July 2025, and the message is clear: if you’re a brand, business, or content creator making promotional content, you need to be extremely careful with the music you use.
This update impacts every video with a commercial angle—from influencer collaborations to brand-sponsored challenges. And that’s exactly where Legis Music comes in.
TikTok has updated its Commercial Music Library (CML) User Terms, which now mandate:
Business Accounts and brand-related content must use music from TikTok’s Commercial Music Library (CML). You can no longer use general TikTok sounds (including trending audio or viral songs) in promotional content.
Tracks licensed via TikTok’s CML are only cleared for use within TikTok. If you want to repost your video to YouTube, Instagram, or even your website, you need to secure a separate license.
TikTok’s updated terms warn that using unlicensed audio in commercial content can result in content being muted, removed, or penalized.
With TikTok tightening control, Legis Music offers a cleaner, simpler solution.
We provide a Pro-level license that gives you unlimited access to music cleared for commercial use—on any platform.
Our Pro plan gives you:
Unlimited access to our entire library of high-quality, royalty-free music.
Full commercial rights across all digital platforms, including TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, podcasts, websites, and more.
Lifetime licensing for every downloaded track—use it forever, even if you cancel.
There’s no free tier anymore, no “lite” option, and no confusion. Just one Pro plan that covers all your needs, whether you're a solo creator, agency, or brand.
Unlike TikTok’s CML, which locks music to TikTok only, Legis Music licenses:
Let you publish your content across all platforms without needing additional rights.
Eliminate the risk of muted videos or licensing conflicts.
Work for both organic and paid promotional content.
Our Pro license is built for business:
✅ Use in client projects, digital ads, branded content, and broadcast.
✅ No attribution required.
✅ No usage limits—download and use as many tracks as you need.
Let’s say you're running a back-to-school campaign across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Under TikTok’s new rules:
If you use a trending sound, your video could be muted or removed.
Even CML tracks won’t be valid on Instagram or YouTube.
With Legis Music, you can:
Pick a commercially licensed track once.
Use it across every platform, in every ad, with no extra licensing required.
One license. Zero stress.
