Why did TikTok remove my sound?

TikTok has allowed its users to add their sounds in short videos. When someone uploads sound from his music store, TikTok has to get a copyright to make and distribute copies of that music sound. According to copyright law, when someone uses a well-known musician's music, he has to take permission from the producer and creator of that music. Often it costs money while some musicians seem quite contented in sharing their music publicly free. Some songs are used in TikTok, but they are later removed at the requests of their creators. Such TikTok videos, if one liked or saved, have no audio when he watches these videos week or month later.
