Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Effective September 19, 2026. Last updated September 19, 2026.

SoundSwift respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects every user of the SoundSwift ecosystem to do the same. This policy implements the notice-and-takedown and counter-notification procedures of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512. It applies to all SoundSwift websites, applications, and services, including SwiftGen AI, Studio, SwiftMedia, Aura, Tours and Events, Connect, the Band and Crew Layer, Aphelion, Arc, and SwiftTickets.

Safe Harbor Compliance

SoundSwift complies with Section 512 of the DMCA. SoundSwift is an online service provider. SoundSwift does not monitor, screen, or pre-approve user content as a matter of course. Users, not SoundSwift, are responsible for the material they upload, generate, publish, stream, or share, including AI-generated works. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, SoundSwift will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material claimed to be infringing, and will notify the affected user when practical.

DMCA Agent Information

Notices of claimed copyright infringement and counter-notifications must be sent to SoundSwift’s designated agent.

Name: SoundSwift Copyright Agent

Email: copyright@soundswift.com

Address: SoundSwift, c/o Copyright Agent, United States

Phone: request the Copyright Agent through www.soundswift.com/contact

This agent is designated and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(2). The current listing appears in the Copyright Office’s public DMCA designated-agent directory. Email is the fastest method. Incomplete notices may delay action.

SoundSwift-Specific Coverage

This policy covers all content types stored, processed, displayed, or transmitted through SoundSwift, including:

  • Uploaded music, audio tracks, and catalogs
  • Uploaded stems, sessions, and Studio mixes or masters
  • SwiftGen AI-generated audio, images, lyrics, and related outputs
  • SwiftMedia campaigns, creatives, and scheduled posts
  • Aura documents, itineraries, rosters, and artist files
  • Tour posters, event flyers, and Tours and Events media
  • Connect recordings, chat, and shared media
  • Band and Crew Layer uploads and shared work files
  • Aphelion and SwiftTickets event media, ticket art, and attendee-facing creatives
  • Arc videos, thumbnails, comments, and channel media

Users are solely responsible for verifying that they own or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions needed for any content they upload, generate, train on, publish, or cause SoundSwift to process, including AI-generated content. Generating or uploading material does not grant rights the user does not already have.

Proper DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3), a written notification to the designated agent must include all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by one notice.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit SoundSwift to locate it, including the exact URL or URLs and, where possible, the app, room, campaign, event, or file name.
  • Contact information reasonably sufficient to reach the complaining party, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices that omit required elements may be rejected. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may expose the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f).

Counter-Notification Requirements

If material was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and the user believes the removal was a mistake or that the user has the right to use the material, the user may send a counter-notification to the designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3), it must include:

  • A physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal, including URL or URLs.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • The user’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the user’s address is located, or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SoundSwift may be found, and that the user will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.

Upon a valid counter-notification, SoundSwift may restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.

Repeat Infringer Policy

SoundSwift maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are repeat infringers. This policy applies across all SoundSwift apps and services. SoundSwift may disable or delete an account, content, rooms, campaigns, events, tickets, credits, or related access after repeated valid infringement notices or other copyright violations, and may refuse future registration.

Trademark, publicity, and other intellectual-property concerns that are not copyright claims may be sent to the same agent. They are not required to follow the DMCA form, but complete identifying information and URLs will speed review.
