DMCA & Copyright Protection
Protect your musical creations. Distrofy is committed to safeguarding your intellectual property across all digital platforms.
Understanding DMCA & Copyright
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works. Copyright, on the other hand, is a legal right granted to the creator of original works, including musical compositions and recordings, giving them exclusive rights to its use and distribution.
Protecting your music is crucial in the digital age. Unauthorized use can lead to lost revenue and dilution of your brand. Distrofy provides the tools and services to help you maintain control over your work.
How Distrofy Protects Your Music

Our systems (or those of our partners) continuously scan platforms for unauthorized uses of your copyrighted material.
We efficiently issue DMCA takedown notices to platforms hosting infringing content, ensuring swift removal.
Our team provides support and guidance in resolving copyright claims and disputes that may arise.
We offer proactive monitoring services to detect and address potential infringements before they escalate.
What We Need From You
To effectively protect your music and act on your behalf, we typically require:
- Clear proof of ownership of the copyrighted material (e.g., copyright registration, master recordings, publishing agreements).
- Specific details of the infringing content, including URLs and screenshots where applicable.
- Authorization for Distrofy to act as your designated agent for DMCA and copyright matters.
Our team will guide you through the necessary documentation process to ensure we have everything needed to protect your rights.

At Distrofy, we take your intellectual property rights seriously. Our dedicated team and technology partners work diligently to monitor, detect, and act against unauthorized use of your music. We believe in transparency and will keep you informed throughout the process of any claims or actions taken on your behalf.
