Facebook Issued Statement Regarding DJ Live Streams: Terms Are Not Changing Next Month

In the age of quick-sharing and fake news, it’s perhaps no surprise that just last week the entire electronic music world was upset when confronted with headlines stating tha,Ā  as of October of 2020, Facebook and Instagram were not going to be allowing any more DJ live streams on their platforms due to copyright violations.

The articles did indeed specify that Facebook and Instagram intended to make DJ live streams harder than ever, cracking down on any use of music being live-streamed without a proper license. How did this happen? The social media site had updated its terms of services to make ā€˜music listening’ live streams a bannable offence.

Music Is The Answer: Twitch, Facebook & Instagram Don’t Get The Memo and Crack Down on DJ Live Streams

2020 has arguably been the most difficult year to date for the music industry. As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to inflict its damage around the world, leaving people jobless, destroying entire industries and forcing us in our homes, our society is also coming to grips with the long-overdue realization that systemic racism and police brutality are interwoven and still prevalent in our lives today. The natural result has been for people to diverge their attention to social media, connecting with loved ones and music through platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, but also live streamsĀ on Twitch and YouTube.

The live music industry has been essentially reduced to nothingness and all events that require a gathering of people, whether related to sport, music or otherwise, have been indefinitely postponed. As event cancellation announcements made the rounds in spring, the electronic music world turned to live streams as a solution.
