I made a TikTok video of me with a sound I don't own. However I do own the picture and the video.  In that video with my photo, someone posted it and added a short video. But it still has a picture with a video of me.

This situation involves copyright and neighboring rights — even though you own your photo and video, using someone else’s sound or their remixing your content without consent can raise complex ownership and usage issues. You may dispute it, but enforcing your rights depends on how the material was used and whether it constitutes “transformative use” under local law.
