We understand that artists are influenced by musicians they admire. In order to protect all musicians, Copyright Law gives the creators of original music exclusive rights to their own work.

Here at Identity Music, we provide Digital Rights Management to all of our Music Distribution clients completely free of charge. We can offer you music protection on YouTube, SoundCloud, Instagram and Facebook.

However, we are aware that sometimes you might need to report a copyright dispute on another platform that you distribute to. In order to assist you with this, we have developed a list of all of the submission forms to report a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

Some platform partners will not have a form but can be reached via email:

1. Your information

  • First and last name

  • Individual/Company/brand that owns the work

  • Mailing Address

  • E-mail

  • A link to the original product or proof of ownership

2. Information you must provide about the copyright infringement

  • Is it a Sound Recording / Artwork / Trademark that is infringed?

  • Link to infringed content and/or proof to show the DSP of the infringement

  • Short explanation about the infringement

3. Statements

  • I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  • I hereby state that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
