If I change the pitch of a song over a video I've edited, will Facebook not delete my video?

[DH2011]

Basically, I want to know if changing the pitch in a song I've dubbed over in a video I've edited will avoid Facebook from removing it due to "copyright infringement"? The song is copyrighted, it's called "Spirit Of The Season" by Alan Silvestri but I've uploaded a video with the same music before and it is fine. Also, I'm aware that pitch shifting can sometimes work on YouTube but I want to know if the same would work for Facebook?

Thanks
SAM: I have already tried uploading the same video earlier today to my own Facebook and it was taken down within 2 seconds of finally uploading for copyright infringement. The video in no way is commercial, advertising anything or uploaded in order to make profit, plus I don't want to risk getting banned from uploading videos for a whole 'nother year!

Nothing will gonna happening, facebook can't see everything

If you are posting to your own Facebook wall or page then there are no copyright issues because you are not passing it off as your own...

If you are, Facebook still can't take it down.

[oh not not again]

It can still be taken down.

Changing the pitch does not excuse the infringement of copyrights because it's not your copyrighted material to be changing the pitch to

You need a synchronization license from the copyright holder in order to add someone else's music to your video. This is true whether you change the pitch or not. It doesn't matter whether or not it's commercial or an advertisement, nor does it matter whether it makes a profit or not. You need permission in every case.

No, it is illegal to publish copyrighted things that you did not create yourself (from scratch), unless you have a license.

Admitting that you know it's copyrighted and you don't own the right to publish it SHOULD be the answer to your own question. If nobody reports me for running a stop sign without slowing down, does that make it legal? "Pitch shifting" copyrighted music is an additional copyright infringement called "derivative work" that will be added to the "unauthorized publication" when you are sued.

Whether your FB or YT account is suspended immediately or terminated forever is completely up to them, once you have violated the terms and conditions of your membership.

The good news is that if you have "uploaded the same music before and it's fine", then you can only be sued for the single $150,000 for each song, not $150,000 for each illegal publication; provided it is the same song (and not one that you have changed the pitch on, making it a new derivative work).

So, bottom line, you're already looking at a $300,000 risk by uploading (publishing) TWO songs you don't own the rights to.
