DMCA & Copyright Protection
Help with DMCA and copyright issues around your music.
If you are dealing with copyright questions, claims or clear misuse of your tracks, we try to handle as much of the process as we reasonably can and keep you informed.
A short note on DMCA and copyright
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that sets out how online services and rights holders should handle copyright notices and takedowns.
Copyright is the legal right that covers your recordings and compositions. Protecting that right matters because repeated unauthorised use can quietly reduce both your income and your control over how your work appears online.
How Distrofy Protects Your Music
We manage Content ID systems on platforms like YouTube and Facebook to identify and claim your music whenever it's used.
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 usually need from you
To act on your behalf in a clear and responsible way, we usually need:
- Some proof that you control the recordings or compositions in question (for example registrations, master recordings or agreements).
- Specific details of the suspected infringing content, including URLs and, if helpful, screenshots.
- Your permission for Distrofy to write to platforms about the issue on your behalf.
Our team can guide you through this so you only send what is genuinely useful.
How we try to look after your rights
At Distrofy, we try to treat your rights with the same care we would want for our own. Our team and partners monitor common problem areas and act when there is clear unauthorised use.
We believe in transparency and will keep you informed about the main steps we take on your behalf. The internet is large and no system is perfect, so we also encourage you to let us know about any issues you notice so we can look into them together.
