Can I take action against the use of my works/music in videos on YouTube, TikTok and the like?

Yes, if you do not agree with the use of your music in a video, for instance, because you feel that your moral rights have been infringed, you can block the video where your music can be heard via the “Content ID System” feature of YouTube, or example.

This means: As a rightsholder, you can take action against the video and launch a so-called “take down” action with the relevant platforms. The rights that we at GEMA manage for you, are not affected by this.
