Their updated terms seem to imply copyrighted music, but it comes off as banning any and all music including original content.

Use of music for commercial or non-personal purposes in particular is prohibited unless you have obtained appropriate licenses.

Unauthorized content may be removed

If you post content that contains music owned by someone else, your content may be blocked, or may be reviewed by the applicable rights owner and removed if your use of that music is not properly authorized.

Seems fair enough to me.

>You may not use videos on our Products to create a music listening experience

This seems to even apply to things that you fully own the rights to.

A famous record label sent its lawyers to us, because we used some song to dance at a party an uploaded it on youtube. How that is fair?

Do you mean you disputed a UGC claim?

A lot of people have been doing that for a long time. It's not working.

Most people don't understand the issue. What actions people generally find acceptable are very different from the actions permitted under copyright law, but most people don't understand that.

Especially this part towards the end:

> You may not be able to post or access videos containing music in every country of the world > > We want you to be able to share videos with your family and friends wherever they are, but any music in your video, if it is allowed at all, may not be available in all countries of the world.

That part about "music in your video, if it is allowed at all" really feels like it's setting up a scenario where you just aren't allowed to have music in your FB videos at all.
