Copyright & DMCA takedowns
We respect the rights of artists and rights holders and respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Sampling is part of beat culture, but if a rights holder sends a valid notice, the beat is removed. Producers are warned about this every time they upload.
What happens after you file
- We review the notice, usually within a few days.
- If it's valid, we remove the audio and notify the uploader.
- The uploader may send a counter-notice if they believe the removal was a mistake.
- Accounts with repeated valid takedowns are terminated.
Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
