Can you post videos with music in private groups on Facebook without licenses from record labels / TONO?

Private groups on Facebook, even if they are closed, are by definition online use. That is, just like any other type of use on the Internet. In this type of production, recording rights must be cleared with the record company, while synchronization and performance rights are cleared with TONO's Online Media department.
