​

At SonicScoop Music, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users, partners, and contributors to do the same. This Copyright Policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims and sets expectations regarding ownership of content submitted to or distributed through our platform.

1. Ownership of Content

All music, artwork, metadata, video, written content, trademarks, logos, and other intellectual property uploaded to or distributed via SonicScoop Music remains the sole property of the original rights holders unless otherwise specified by a written agreement.

By submitting any content for distribution via SonicScoop Music, you confirm that:

  • You are the copyright owner or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to authorize SonicScoop Music to use and distribute the content.

  • Your content does not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights.

You may revoke this license by terminating your agreement with us, subject to any applicable notice or contractual terms.
