Identify songs and samples in uploads

Labels and collecting societies identify songs and samples in uploads

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsChecking & moderating contentFilm, music & audio, Social media & creators

Fits: Legal & compliance · Creative & media production · Social media & content

Your recordings and works are found in videos, streams and short clips on platforms, even as a short excerpt. You decide according to fixed rules whether to share in the revenue, request a block or release the content, and you justify every claim properly.

Is this for you?

  • You represent rights to many recordings or works, as a label, music publisher, distributor or collecting society.
  • Your music regularly appears in other people’s uploads, including in edited form or as a sample.
  • Your rights data is clean, or you are prepared to build it up.
First step today

Make up a list of eight match reports like those an identification service would deliver, without real channel or personal names, and have them pre-sorted according to your rules with the template below. Check whether the AI really passes unclear cases to a person.

How to go about it

  1. Define rules for matches
  2. Bring together reference recordings and rights data
  3. Set up identification with platforms and services
  4. Have rights specialists check unclear matches
  5. Enforce claims and respond to disputes
  6. Refine references and thresholds
