FAQ
Common questions
Who can actually file a claim on a song?+
Only the rights holder of the composition (songwriter/composer/publisher) or the master recording (artist/label), or someone they've authorized. We confirm your ownership before filing anything.
What do you need from me to start?+
Links to the track and the infringing or claimed content, plus any proof of rights — split sheets, distribution agreements, ISRC/UPC, or master ownership.
How are your fees structured?+
We work on a flat fee for defined actions like takedowns, a monthly retainer for ongoing catalog management, or a percentage of royalties we recover. We agree on the model before any work begins.
Is my information confidential?+
Yes. Everything you share is protected by attorney-client confidentiality and handled in line with KVKK and GDPR data-protection requirements.
Can you fight a false claim made against my own track?+
Yes. We file counter-notifications and disputes to remove abusive claims and restore your monetization.
How long does a claim take?+
Most takedowns and Content ID actions resolve within days to a few weeks, depending on the platform and whether the other party disputes.
