Sonproof continuously scans UGC and social platforms, streaming services, download stores, live-streaming and other digital channels for unauthorized uses of your catalog - including covers, remixes, sped-up edits and AI-generated derivatives. When we find infringing content, we take responsibility for removing it: we build the evidence, verify it with a human, and run the entire takedown procedure on your behalf.
You approve, we execute. Owned by no label. Allied to no platform. Every claim reviewed before it’s sent.
Our own recognition engine matches segments of your recordings across speed, pitch and key changes - built and tuned in-house, not licensed from a competitor. Exact copies, edits, sped-up versions and re-pitched uploads resolve back to the same master.
Composition-level and version-level matching flags covers, interpolations, remixes, mashups, samples, AI-transformed vocals and AI-generated derivatives - not just exact copies.
UGC & social, streaming services, download stores, live-streaming, audio-first platforms and the wider web - checked as new content appears.
Match score, exact segment, waveform comparison, platform metadata, view counts and timestamps - assembled automatically, exportable for legal.
No claim, monetization request or takedown leaves the system without a trained reviewer confirming the match, the rights, the territory and the license status. Because we send it, we stand behind it.
Every detection becomes a case with owner, status, actions and outcomes. Disputes and counter-notices tracked to resolution. Nothing undocumented.
Three ways to use Sonproof - each with its own detection focus, evidence view and enforcement playbook.
Every re-upload, edit, sped-up version and AI derivative of your recordings - across UGC, streaming, download and live platforms - surfaced with evidence, verified by a human, and monetized or removed by our team on your instruction.
Composition-level matching identifies your songs even when the recording, key, tempo and performer are all different - the long tail of unlicensed covers, remixes and AI re-recordings that most rights tools miss entirely.
Bulk ingestion via DDEX or CSV, per-catalog policies by territory and license term, and client-level reporting so every label and artist you represent sees exactly what was found and what was recovered.
From claim to takedown to dispute, Sonproof runs the entire enforcement procedure on your behalf. Six stages, every one logged - and nothing leaves the system without a human confirming it.
Masters, ISRCs, UPCs, writers, territories and license terms via DDEX, CSV or API. Rights documentation and chain of title are verified before anything is scanned.
UGC & social, streaming services, download stores, live-streaming, audio-first platforms and the wider web are checked as new content appears - not on a weekly schedule.
Each candidate gets a similarity score, exact segment map and speed/pitch shift. Whitelists, authorized uses and duplicates are filtered out before a human ever sees the case.
A trained reviewer confirms the match, checks chain of title, territory and license status, and considers fair use, parody and other exceptions. AI informs; people decide.
Once you approve, we carry out the removal, claim or monetization ourselves - through the channel each platform actually provides: rights program, notice process or distributor withdrawal. We file it, we follow it up, we own the outcome.
Disputes and counter-notices are handled by our team to resolution - including releasing a claim when the dispute has merit. Every case, action and result stays in your audit trail and reports.
Monitoring isn't limited to UGC. We scan wherever music is streamed, downloaded, uploaded or broadcast - and when we find infringing content, we run the removal ourselves through the channel each platform actually provides. We monetize where a rights program exists; we remove where only a notice process exists.
Every screen answers those three questions at a glance - for your rights team, your legal team, and your clients.
False claims damage rights holders, uploaders and platforms alike. Our enforcement framework is designed to make them rare - and traceable when they happen.
We do. Once a detection is verified and you approve the action, Sonproof runs the whole removal procedure: we file the claim or takedown, follow it up, and handle any dispute or counter-notice through to resolution. What differs by platform is the channel: services with rights-management programs (such as YouTube and Meta) let us claim, block or monetize directly; others require a compliant notice per item, which we file and the platform then actions. We tell you up front which route applies to each platform in your catalog - and we never claim removal is instant or automatic everywhere.
Accuracy depends on the type of use - exact re-uploads are far easier than heavily transformed covers. We publish our matching methodology and per-category performance figures rather than quoting a single headline number, and every enforcement action is confirmed by a human reviewer before it’s sent.
Yes. Master and publishing rights are registered and tracked separately, with composition-level detection for covers, interpolations and derivative works. Chain-of-title documentation is required for both.
The dispute is logged as part of the case, you’re notified, and our team manages the counter-notice or dispute process with you to resolution - including releasing a claim when the dispute has merit. Every step stays in the audit trail.
No. Sonproof is independently owned. We work on behalf of our clients only, and we don’t use “official partner” language for any platform unless a written agreement exists.
Our fingerprinting engine matches melodic and structural characteristics of your recordings across transformations, including AI-generated vocals and derivative tracks. Detected AI uses are flagged separately in the dashboard so you can decide how to handle them.
Bring a few ISRCs. We’ll show you what a week of monitoring looks like - and exactly what we would remove, claim or monetize for you, platform by platform.
