Copyright and DMCA Policy

Version: 1.0 Effective Date: September 16, 2026

Respect for Intellectual Property

SoundStage, LLC respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same.

Artists are responsible for ensuring they have the rights, licenses, permissions, and consents needed for every element of content they upload or publish.

SoundStage does not provide a licensed music library. Audio used in an Artist post must already be lawfully incorporated into the uploaded finished content. SoundStage does not grant the uploader rights to music, recordings, compositions, video, artwork, trademarks, names, likenesses, or other third-party material.

Ordinary Reports vs. Copyright Notices

A normal in-app report may alert SoundStage to a possible copyright issue, but it is not a substitute for a formal copyright or Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice.

To submit a formal copyright complaint, use the Report Copyright Infringement process where available or email [email protected].

Copyright Notice Requirements

A copyright notice should include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
3. Identification of the SoundStage material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow SoundStage to locate it, such as a post URL, profile URL, or other specific identifier.
4. Your name and reasonably sufficient contact information, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address where available.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may delay review.

What SoundStage May Do

When SoundStage receives a sufficiently complete notice, it may remove or disable access to the identified content, request additional information, notify the affected user, preserve relevant records, or take other steps appropriate under applicable law.

SoundStage may terminate or restrict accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Counter-Notification

If you believe content was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to [email protected].

A counter-notification should include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court as required by applicable law and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

After receiving a valid counter-notification, SoundStage may restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt unless the original claimant first provides notice that a court action has been filed seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Misrepresentations

Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a copyright notice or counter-notification may create legal liability. Submit only accurate, good-faith claims.
