Copyright Policy & DMCA Notice Procedure

Sourcelid LLC respects intellectual property rights and expects members to do the same. This policy is incorporated into our Terms and Conditions and Distribution Agreement.

1. Members' responsibilities

Members may submit only content they own or have licensed, including sound recordings, compositions, samples, interpolations and artwork. Releases using samples or interpolations, or involving multiple writers, producers or featured artists, must be accompanied by the required clearance and split documentation before approval.

2. Reporting infringement (DMCA notice)

If you believe content distributed through Sourcelid infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature (or that of a person authorized to act for the owner).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material, with enough detail to locate it (title, artist, platform, URL, ISRC/UPC if known).
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Designated agent: Legal Department, Sourcelid LLC, Legal, c/o EPGD Business Law (Registered Agent), 777 SW 190th St, Suite 510, Miami, FL 33135 · hello@sourcelid.com

Notices that do not substantially comply may not be acted on. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

3. What we do with a notice

We may remove or disable access to the material, pause the related release or payments as permitted by our agreements, notify the member, and forward the notice to the relevant platforms. Amounts attributable to the disputed content may be withheld until the matter is resolved.

4. Counter-notice

If you are a member and believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, send a written counter-notice to the designated agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which Sourcelid may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the notice or their agent.

We will forward the counter-notice to the complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10–14 business days that it has filed a court action, we may restore the material.

5. Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who are repeat infringers, and may terminate for a single serious violation.

6. Sample and content-matching flags

Automated matching may flag releases. Flags are reviewed by our team and may require rights documentation. A flag is not a finding of infringement.

7. Trademarks and other rights

For non-copyright claims (trademark, right of publicity, AI likeness), contact hello@sourcelid.com with details.
