How to File an Infringement Claim with Music Streaming Platforms

  • Updated

This article explains how to file a infringement claim directly with music streaming platforms (DSPs) when you believe your copyrighted material is being used without authorization.

 

If you are the rights holder of a particular asset (such as a recording, composition, or trademarked material) and find it being used on a streaming platform without proper permission, you can file an infringement claim directly with the DSP.

 

Filing a claim ensures your concerns are directed to the relevant party, namely, the platform where the content is being hosted—and that the process complies with legally defined requirements for copyright disputes.

 

 

When to File an Infringement Claim

You may consider filing an infringement claim if:

  • Your copyrighted recording or composition appears on a DSP without your authorization
  • Another party has uploaded content under your artist or label name
  • The content in question misuses your trademark, brand assets, or intellectual property

Please ensure that you hold the rights to the content in question before submitting a claim.

Ensure that any claim submitted contains accurate, complete information, including a clear description of the allegedly infringing content, proof of ownership, and a declaration of good faith.

 

 

Important Notes

  • FUGA does not process claims directly. We recommend contacting the DSP where the content is hosted.
  • Following the correct claim procedure with each platform ensures timely handling and compliance with applicable copyright laws.
  • Filing false claims can have legal consequences. Always confirm your rights before proceeding.
