Reporting Copyright infringement to DSPs

Music Copyright Infringement
Music copyright infringement happens when someone uses music without permission. This can include uploading a song without the owner’s approval, using music in a video without a license, or copying a track too closely.
This is a serious problem for artists because it can cause lost income and make it harder to protect their work.
What to do
If you find your music being used without permission, the first step is to contact the platform where the content is posted. These are the main DSPs and support forms:
