Song Use and Infringement Scans

We constantly test copyright and compliance scanning technologies modifying our selection and application of the right set to meet the changing dynamics of unauthorized, unlicensed, and illegal use of music.

While there’s always new tech out there, no one tech provider provides the best solution across a) all forms of detection, and b) all distribution types. It requires an ever-changing combination of services and companies.

We make it easy - we test, we select, we deploy, the right combination of tools for our clients. By evaluating and choosing the best companies and tools for specific use cases, we are able to deliver our clients the most accurate and highest income producing results.

At RoyaltyAmp, we understand that safeguarding your music is as critical as creating it. With the rapid evolution of digital platforms and AI, unauthorized use, wrongful claims, and fraud have become constant and pervasive threats to artists, songwriters, labels, and publishers.

Our cutting edge tools scan all types of content and platforms protecting our clients’ rights and earnings across every corner of the digital globe.

Services include:

  • Pre-Release Copyright Clearance Scan

    In a world now turned upside-down by Generative AI, it is more important than ever for labels and distributors to forensically scan a track not only for sampling, but for deep-fake AI, before releasing it into music’s ecosystem. RoyaltyAmp performs highly accurate copyright clearance scans.

  • Market Monitor for Unauthorized Sampling

    We scan major music platforms for unlicensed samples and unauthorized derivative works for our clients. Our team’s results have led to detections, takedowns, settlements, licenses and recovered royalties.

  • Song Misclassification and Fraud:

    Significant numbers of songs are uploaded to major streaming sites daily that claim to be original when in fact they are covers, interpolations or simply fraud. Our forensic teams and technologies hunt for infringement and imposters.

  • Unclaimed and Unpaid Social Media Use:

    Using multiple platforms, we coordinate and steward the tracking of your music across social media sites including YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Too often, a catalog’s royalties go unpaid or paid to the wrong party.

  • Media Scans for Sync Compliance:

    Not all music used in film, television, social media, gaming, and advertising is properly sync licensed. Sync teams rely on RoyaltyAmp to track down unlicensed use. An even greater problem is the extended use of music beyond the licensed period. RoyaltyAmp can scan and audit sync licenses for option omission and non-compliant extended use, even collecting additional license fees where necessary.

  • Catalog Purchase and Acquisition:

    Copyrights and IP represent both risk and opportunity to the acquirers of a catalog. It is imperative that every catalog transaction be processed through a comprehensive copyright analysis. If the assets being acquired contain unlicensed copyright protected samples or unethical use of AI it represents risk to the buyer. Conversely, if the catalog assets are scanned against what’s out in music’s ecosystem, there’s a likelihood unauthorized and unknown use of that catalog exists representing a post transaction opportunity to assert rights and collect unanticipated license fees and royalties.


Rights Assertions and Royalty Audits

  • Rights Claims and Assertions

    When the infringement scans and infringement forensics end, the rights claims, rights assertions and collections begin. Clients not only count on RoyaltyAmp to locate where their music has been used without license or wrongly claimed, many times they utilize our team to assert their rights and claim their revenues on platforms and with third parties.

  • High Performance Royalty Auditing

    In general, every catalog is leaking royalties somewhere, the question is not “if”, it’s “how much". Regular royalty audits are a must for every rights owner and administrator.

    RoyaltyAmp audits utilize a proprietary cross-reference proxy program to quickly identify where errors and omissions exist across digital assets, platforms, and territories.

    The process is completed with the team making the necessary catalog updates required for re-registration, filing, claiming, and collecting due royalties.

RoyaltyAmp works at the leading edge of music catalog metadata and asset management. Our team performs deep audits of catalog information, data, ownership, and registrations.

The result of our work is the client’s ability to submit a more accurate and comprehensive set of catalog data to platforms, societies, and licensees, enabling faster and more accurate royalty and license payments.
