Identity Music can deliver and monitor the use of your music on social media platforms via Rights Management Stores. When your music is shared on these platforms, you’ll earn from ad revenue.

The current rights management platforms we distribute to are YouTube Content ID, Facebook/Instagram (Meta), TikTok, and Snap.

In order to take advantage of rights management platforms, the sounds that you use in your music must be exclusive to your track. Any sound recording that contains non-exclusive sounds, e.g. samples, nature sounds, or other non-distinct sounds, will be ineligible.


Content that is NOT eligible for delivery to Rights Management Platforms:

Tracks

Tracks that contain non-exclusive elements such as:

  • Classical music recordings of compositions in the public domain

  • DJ sets, continuous mixes, or other similar compilations

  • Karaoke recordings

  • Meditation, yoga, or sleep music

  • Production loops (such as those from GarageBand, Splice, Looperman and other royalty-free samples)

  • Soundbeds (the basic sonic landscapes to which all other layers are added)

  • Sound effects and any Creative Commons Licensed sounds (including white noise)

  • Sound-alikes

Non-musical content

Examples of non-musical content include (but are not limited to):

  • Ambient sound recordings

  • Audiobooks

  • Comedy recordings

  • Film recordings (that are not the musical score to a film)

  • Nature or wildlife recordings

  • Podcasts

  • Prayer recordings

  • Speeches

  • Spoken word recordings

  • White noise, pink noise, machine noise, etc.

  • Non-voiced ASMR

  • Sound effects

  • Silence recordings

As with all content uploaded to Identity Music, approval for delivery to Rights Management Platforms is contingent upon accordance with our agreements.

For the purposes of clarity, this means:

  • If your release uses samples that you do not have an exclusive license for, it will not be able to be delivered to Rights Management Platforms.

  • If your release is a cover song, it will not be able to be delivered to Rights Management Platforms.

  • If your release uses nature sounds/recordings or other ambient sounds, it will not be able to be delivered to Rights Management Platforms.

If you're not sure if your release qualifies for delivery to Rights Management Platforms, we're happy to advise!
