What happens if my release gets a copyright claim?

UPDATED 9 AUGUST 2026 · 3 MIN READ

What triggers a pause

If a store, a rights holder or Revocle identifies a problem with a release — a copyright claim, a Content ID dispute, a metadata error — we may pause or remove that release from stores while we investigate. We will tell you why and give you a chance to respond, unless we are legally required to act immediately.

What is expected of you

You are responsible for the accuracy of the metadata, rights and split information you submit, and for holding whatever licences your release needs — sample clearances, cover-song mechanicals, features. Misrepresenting ownership, rights or performer identity is a material breach of our Terms.

What we will not carry

Content that infringes third-party copyright, manipulates streaming numbers, or falsely impersonates a real artist's voice or likeness — including undisclosed AI-generated impersonation. Violations can lead to takedown, royalty withholding, suspension or termination. The full detail is in our Content Policy.

Artificial streaming

Do not buy streams. Stores detect it, releases get removed, royalties get withheld, and accounts get terminated — and the penalty can reach the whole catalogue, not just the affected track.
