Universal Music says that it will pull its song catalog from TikTok tomorrow at midnight, as the companies are unable to reach a deal on rights. Huge implications. (twitter.com)

Does it mean that all of existing tiktoks with universal's music will now be silent or is it only going to affect new videos?

God it would be great for a huge back catalog of tiktok videos to just be lame tweens dancing in silence.

It impacts all videos. People are going to get a shock tomorrow when they realize they don't own any of those videos they took when they can no longer download them back with sound.
