If someone is using your music without permission

If you believe your music is being used without your authorization, you should submit a claim directly to the platform where the content is available.

In accordance with applicable intellectual property laws, digital service providers (DSPs) maintain specific procedures for receiving and processing copyright infringement claims.

How can I report an infringement?

We recommend using the official copyright reporting forms provided by each platform:

• iTunes: Apple - Legal - iTunes Content Dispute
• Spotify: Support - Spotify
• Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement
• Beatport: Copyright
• YouTube Music: Submit a copyright removal request - YouTube Help
• TIDAL: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
• TikTok: Report copyright infringement | TikTok
• Facebook: Copyright Report Form | Facebook
• Jiosaavn: Contact Us - Saavn
• Deezer: Enviar una solicitud – Deezer Support

When submitting a claim, the platform may request additional information to verify ownership of the rights being claimed.

This may include:

• Information about the rights holder or authorized representative.
• Details of the copyrighted work.
• Links to the allegedly infringing content.
• Documentation supporting ownership of the rights.
• Legal declarations required by the platform.

DMCA Notices and Other Legal Remedies

In many countries, particularly in the United States, platforms accept copyright takedown requests under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

A DMCA notice is a legal statement through which a rights holder requests the removal of content they believe infringes their copyright.

In addition to DMCA procedures, other legal remedies may be available depending on the country, platform, or applicable jurisdiction.

If you believe your rights are being infringed, you may:

• Submit a claim using the platform's official copyright reporting tools.
• Send a takedown request to the website operator or hosting provider.
• Use copyright reporting mechanisms available through search engines, social media platforms, and other online services.
• Seek independent legal advice where appropriate.

What happens after I submit a claim?

Once a claim has been received, the platform will review it in accordance with its internal policies and applicable law.

Depending on the outcome of the review, the platform may:

• Remove or restrict access to the reported content.
• Request additional information from the parties involved.
• Reject the claim if insufficient evidence is provided.
• Apply additional measures in accordance with its copyright policies.

⚠ Content removal decisions and processing times are determined solely by each platform.

Important Information

⚠ Copyright claims are handled directly between the claimant and the relevant platform. SonoSuite does not participate in the review, approval, or resolution of these claims and cannot intervene in decisions made by DSPs.

⚠ Many platforms share the email address provided in a copyright claim with the reported content provider to facilitate disputes, counter-notifications, or requests for additional information. Please ensure that you use a valid email address that you can access.

⚠ The appearance of a recording on a platform does not necessarily mean that it is infringing. The content may have been distributed or licensed by a third party with valid authorization.

⚠ Our team cannot determine ownership of rights on behalf of platforms or submit copyright claims on behalf of rights holders.

Unauthorized Websites

If you find your music on an unauthorized website or service, you may also:

• Contact the website operator directly.
• Submit a copyright takedown request to the relevant hosting provider.
• Use the reporting mechanisms available through search engines, social media platforms, or other services where the content is being shared.
