If someone is using your music without permission

Each channel has its own means to report any content infringement and claim the original work’s rights. These are a few examples of sites where you, as a content manager, can start a right claim:

• iTunes: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/itunesstorenotices/
• Spotify: https://www.spotify.com/es/legal/infringement-form/
• Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement
• Beatport: http://forms.beatport.com/form/51386983261968
• YouTube Music: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2807622?hl=en
• TIDAL: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
• TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/Copyright
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/copyrightform
• Jiosaavn: https://www.jiosaavn.com/corporate/contact
• Deezer: https://support.deezer.com/hc/es/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000057889

On the other hand, if you find your music on an illegal music site, you have three ways to report it. The legal route for the majority of these cases is more difficult, and we can’t know for certain who is running the site.

1. If the website has Google advertising, you should report it in Google Adwords under the American Law DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). This activates a procedure aimed to interrupt any streaming or downloading of the content as a preventive measure until the incident is solved.
2. The same procedure is used for Facebook.

Keep in mind this matter is constantly evolving. Please, feel free to contact us if you have any doubts about how to proceed.
