Before making a copyright report

Provide information that can be reviewed without making assumptions about ownership or licensing.

01 / Distinguish the rights

Sound recording rights and musical composition rights may have different owners. Some uses also require consideration of publishers, producers, performers, territories, licences and exceptions. The reviewer should identify which exclusive right is allegedly affected.

02 / Suggested evidence for owners

• Work or recording title, performer, release and available ISRC/ISWC or catalogue reference.
• Reliable ownership records, distribution agreement or rights registry documents, where relevant.
• Territorial scope, chain of title, term and information about authorised use.
• A contact for independent confirmation if the supporting evidence is unclear.

03 / Suggested evidence for representatives

A representative may be asked for a signed authorisation naming the copyright owner and representative, specifying the works or catalogue, relevant territories, effective dates, permitted actions and any restrictions. This should be verified before external notice preparation.

04 / Data minimisation

Provide only the documentation necessary to explain the claim; redact unrelated financial figures, bank details, signatures or personal identifiers where appropriate. The current local test version should use fictional examples, not confidential agreements.

05 / No automatic agency status

Choosing “Authorised rights agent” in the form does not certify that claim or appoint this service to act. A separate verified agreement is needed before accepting a commercial engagement or acting externally on behalf of a rights holder.

01 / Correct an inaccurate submission

If you discover an incorrect recording, platform URL, rights scope or statement of authority, retain your case reference and request correction through the published verified operator contact once available. The tracking page does not permit self-service edits.

02 / Withdraw a claim

A person who submitted a claim can request its withdrawal. The operator should verify identity and authority, record the request and assess whether any external platform notice requires a separate follow-up. Closing a case here does not automatically retract notices elsewhere.

03 / Dispute or response from an affected party

A third party disputing a claim should identify the reported material, its interest, a reliable contact and the basis of the dispute, including licences or other relevant permissions if appropriate. Do not send access codes or sensitive evidence to an unverified address.

04 / Review record and decision

Corrections and withdrawals should be recorded with dates, reviewer identity, supporting material and resulting status. An internal resolution does not determine legal liability or settle disputes over copyright title.

05 / Where to send a request

Current website operation

This website is a static information preview. It does not currently accept enquiries, infringement reports, case submissions, evidence uploads or case-tracking credentials. It has no user accounts, case database or mailing list. Do not send personal, identity or confidential case information through this site.

Technical access logs

To deliver and protect the website, the hosting server records standard technical request information, which may include the visitor’s IP address, date and time, requested page, response status, browser details and referring page. Nginx access logs are rotated daily and kept for up to 14 rotations on the server. These logs are used for operation, troubleshooting and security.

Cookies and third-party resources

The public pages do not require an account or use advertising or analytics trackers. The site’s fonts use local system fonts; the pages do not request Google Fonts. If you follow an external link, that separate website will apply its own privacy practices.

Hosting

The website is hosted on AWS Lightsail in the Sydney, Australia region. Technical request logs are processed on that server. No form-submitted case or evidence data is collected by this public preview.

Privacy questions

A verified operating entity and dedicated privacy contact have not yet been published. The preview is not accepting personal-data submissions. A complete production privacy notice and contact process must be published before any reporting or enquiry service opens.

Information only

This website provides general information about music copyright and responsible platform reporting. It is not legal advice, a copyright authority, an active reporting service or an offer to represent any rights holder. No client relationship, agency mandate or case is created by visiting this website.

No submissions or case services

Rights-holder enquiries, public reports, file uploads and case tracking are not available. Do not submit or send personal information, identity documents, confidential agreements or case materials. No complaint is sent to a platform from this website.

Third-party decisions

Any platform that receives a report through its own official channel independently decides how to review it and what action, if any, to take. Nothing on this website promises a removal, response time or outcome.

Accuracy and availability

We aim to keep the public information clear, but laws, platform procedures and facts can change. Check the relevant platform’s current rules and obtain qualified legal advice for a specific matter. The website may change or become unavailable.

Operating entity and contact

The verified legal operator, service address, governing law and business contact have not yet been published. These terms describe only the current public preview and must be replaced or supplemented before any service opens.

Required information for a useful report

• Claimant name and reliable contact information.
• Identification of the sound recording, musical composition or relevant catalogue, preferably with available identifiers.
• Direct URL, listing or package identifier locating the disputed material.
• The rights allegedly involved, the territory, relevant licensing facts and why the use appears unauthorised.
• Evidence of ownership or an appropriate signed representative mandate when asked.
• An accurate good-faith statement. For formal rights-holder complaints, separately confirm the rights and agency authority; ordinary public tips do not confer either.

Rights verification and fair review

A claimant may control rights in one recording without controlling rights in the musical composition or another territory. A review should consider the distinction, ownership chain, licences, limitations and context rather than assume that a work's appearance on a service proves infringement.

Additional evidence

A reviewer may request documentation or clarification, or record that a report cannot be processed. Attachments are not automatically screened for malware by this local version. Do not supply sensitive originals or unnecessary personal information.

Potential external notices

Only where the operator has verified a specific written mandate covering the affected work, rights type, territory, term and target platform may a separate formal platform notice be prepared. An authorised operator must submit it manually through the platform’s official reporting procedure, using the actual rights-holder identity and accurate agent contact details. The platform independently decides on review, restriction or removal. Internal reports never trigger automatic delisting. No statutory agent designation, trade-body affiliation or legal authority is claimed.

Disputed, mistaken or withdrawn claims

A claimant must promptly correct relevant mistakes, disclose contrary evidence and withdraw unsupported allegations. Affected parties need an appropriate route to dispute assertions or seek corrections once a verified support address is published. Read our Corrections and withdrawals procedure ↗.

Records and notifications

Internal status changes are logged. Users can check their case using both case reference and private access code. Generic email notices may be queued; receipt of an email alone is not proof that any content was removed.
