Important Notice
Three things to keep in mind before you file.
A DMCA notice is a legal instrument — read these carefully so your submission is both effective and lawful.
False Claims Are Punishable
Knowingly misrepresenting copyright in a DMCA notice can expose you to liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees under §512(f). Submit only what you own or are authorized to enforce.
Counter-Notices Are Allowed
The accused party may file a §512(g) counter-notice. If they do, the content can be reinstated within 10–14 business days unless court action is initiated and the platform is notified.
Privacy & Data Handling
Your personal details are stored encrypted and used only to process the notice. Required portions (claimant identity, sworn statement) may be forwarded to the host platform as part of standard takedown procedure.
Frequently Asked
DMCA & takedown questions, honest answers.
If your question isn’t covered here, our legal team replies to every email within one business day.
What is a DMCA takedown notice?
A DMCA takedown notice is a formal legal request — under §512(c) of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act — asking an online service provider to remove or disable access to material that infringes your copyright. Most major platforms worldwide honor DMCA-style notices, even outside the United States.
Can I file a DMCA notice if I am not based in the United States?
Yes. Although the DMCA is U.S. law, virtually every major international platform — YouTube, Meta, TikTok, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal — accepts DMCA-style notices from rights holders worldwide and follows the same removal workflow.
How long does the takedown process take?
After we file the notice, most major platforms remove the infringing content within 24–72 hours. Smaller hosts and self-hosted infringers may take up to 7 business days. Repeat-offender platforms with designated agents typically respond fastest.
Is filing a DMCA notice with Be Musix free?
Yes — filing valid DMCA notices for content under our distribution administration is free. Custom enforcement campaigns, daily monitoring and high-volume bulk takedowns are available on dedicated plan tiers.
What proof of ownership is accepted?
ISRC and UPC codes, official DSP release pages (Spotify, Apple, YouTube Music), distribution statements, copyright registration certificates, label authorization letters, signed split sheets and publishing agreements are all accepted.
What happens if my notice is incomplete?
Our team contacts you for the missing information at the email you provided. To avoid delays, double-check that infringing URLs are public links, that you are signed in to all referenced DSP dashboards, and that ownership proof clearly identifies the work.
Can the accused person counter-claim my takedown?
Yes. The accused party may file a §512(g) counter-notice. If they do, the content may be restored within 10–14 business days unless you initiate legal action and notify the platform within that window.
Will the infringer see my contact information?
Most platforms forward the relevant portions of the notice — including claimant identity and contact info — to the accused party as required by law. A DMCA notice is a legal document, not anonymous reporting.
How many URLs can I submit at once?
Up to 60 URLs per single submission. For large enforcement batches across multiple platforms or repeat infringers, contact our legal team for the bulk-takedown workflow.
What if my music was sampled, not directly re-uploaded?
Sample-based disputes are handled separately. Submit the notice and our team will determine whether DMCA, sample-clearance dispute, or YouTube Content ID claim is the right enforcement path.
Do you handle YouTube Content ID disputes?
Yes. If your work is registered with YouTube Content ID and a dispute arises, we can assist with both the dispute response and an accompanying DMCA notice if the use is unauthorized. Mention "Content ID" in your description.
What file formats do you accept for supporting documents?
We accept PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG and PNG — up to 6 files, max 10 MB each. PDF is preferred for contracts and certificates; JPG/PNG for screenshots of infringing pages.
Stop the piracy. File your DMCA notice now.
Every minute infringing content stays online is a minute of lost streams, lost royalties and brand dilution. Submit your notice in under 5 minutes and let our legal team handle the rest.
