When your music is played For the public you should be compensated. YouTube does fairly well distributing Royalties for artist whose music is uploaded on their site. When you upload a sample track on their site you get a copyright notification. That’s why some people have to use license free music when they monetize there videos. They have a content ID system when you use background music they check it to see if any publishing royalties are owed. Facebook however if you notice has no content ID system. You can upload a Prince record and you would not hear from Facebook until someone reports your post for Copyright violation. Unfortunately Facebook does not pay performing royalties as we Know it. I have my music distributed by CD Baby and had a conversation with the good people at the artist music site about the topic and as far as they know no artist has been paid publishing for there music on Facebook through cdbaby yet. I have seen payments on my account from deezer, beats, google, myspace, and of course youtube but nothing so far from Facebook.  Unfortunate considering that they are one of the biggest sites in the world Watch Video Below Thank you for watching Background Instrumental Jayce and the root from the JDH Vlog instrumentals You can buy that song for only .99 Cent OR PURCHASE THE FULL ALBUM Your Support is apreciated Link Below DONATE ON PAYPAL
