Copyright Guidelines
To maintain a legal and respectful platform, please follow these copyright guidelines:
Upload Original Content
Only upload music that you created or have permission to distribute.
Respect Sampling Rights
If you sample others' work, ensure you have proper clearance and licenses.
Cover Song Licensing
Cover songs may require mechanical licenses depending on your country's laws.
Public Domain Works
Works in the public domain can be freely used and adapted.
Copyright Infringement
Uploading copyrighted material without permission is strictly prohibited and may result in:
- Immediate removal of the infringing content
- Temporary or permanent suspension of your account
- Legal action by the copyright holder
- Potential liability for damages
Legal Consequences
Copyright infringement can result in significant statutory damages, sometimes up to $150,000 per work infringed. Willful infringement can also lead to criminal penalties.
Fair Use
In some jurisdictions, limited use of copyrighted material without permission may be allowed under "fair use" or "fair dealing" provisions. However, these exceptions are typically narrow and specific.
Common fair use considerations include:
- Purpose and character of the use (educational, transformative)
- Nature of the copyrighted work
- Amount and substantiality of the portion used
- Effect on the potential market for the original work
Important: Fair use is a legal defense, not a right. If you're unsure whether your use qualifies as fair use, consult with a legal professional.
