Defend Your Art: The Fastest Way to Rectify Music Copyright Infringement and Safeguard Your Rights without legal battles

As a seasoned industry expert, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences of copyright infringement. Recently, I’ve experienced two talented artists suffering setbacks that could have been avoided with proper attention to intellectual property rights.”

When a music group’s new project was rejected by several major streaming platforms due to unresolved copyright issues, which they were unaware existed, the release was halted. Furthermore, one of my artists in the UK had his hit single abruptly removed from circulation after a copyright claim was filed, due to u concluded license agreement resulting in lost royalties and potential damage to their reputation

These experiences underscore the critical importance of prioritizing intellectual property protection. As an artist, you should take intellectual property rights seriously. To maintain legal compliance, best practices, and service integrity, you must constantly ensure that you upload only 100% original content. When using another person’s material, obtain absolute and total permission to do so.

And in same vein If someone has uploaded your intellectual property using a music store, the best and fastest way to resolve it if you don’t want to start a legal battle is to, reach out to each streaming service with a takedown request.
