Questions, answered.

A DMCA takedown is a formal legal notice sent to a platform under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, requesting removal of content that infringes a copyright you own or control. When a valid notice is filed, the platform is obligated to remove or disable access to the infringing material.

We file directly with the major streaming and distribution platforms, including Apple Music, Deezer, and SoundCloud, and escalate through distributor and trust-and-safety channels where needed. If your infringement is on a platform not listed, get in touch and we'll advise.

Most valid claims resolve within 24–72 hours of filing, though this varies by platform and the complexity of the case. We track each notice through to acknowledgement and confirm once the content is removed.

At minimum: the URL or identifier of the infringing content, and confirmation that you own or control the rights to the original work. For stronger claims we may ask for supporting documentation such as a distribution agreement, master license, or proof of authorship. The more complete the documentation, the less likely a notice is rejected on a technicality.

If the uploader disputes your claim with a counter-notice, we help you respond with the evidence needed to uphold it. A counter-notice does not automatically restore the content — it opens a window in which the rights holder can act. We manage that process so valid claims stay enforced.

Yes. A takedown is rarely the end — infringing content is often re-uploaded. We monitor for re-uploads of the same material and file follow-up notices to keep your catalogue clean over time.

Often, yes — but it depends on the specifics. Rights in a recording and rights in the underlying composition can sit with different parties. Tell us what you control and we'll assess whether a notice is appropriate and how best to frame it.

Yes — knowingly filing a false DMCA notice carries legal liability. That's why we verify rights before filing. We only submit notices we believe to be valid and well-supported, which protects you and keeps your claims credible with platforms.
