Copyright

Rights come first

Every audio upload requires the acknowledgement “I confirm I have the rights to use this audio in this Session” — stored on the server with the upload. It applies to every path audio takes into a Session, on web and iOS.

The recognition check

After upload, a short clip is checked against a music recognition service in the background. No match — nothing happens. If the service is unavailable, your upload stands; the check is designed to never block your work.

If there's a match

1. You'll see a banner — Possible match found — confirm you have rights to share — and a dialog naming the matched recording.
2. If it's yours or licensed, choose This is my music or I have permission to use it. Your attestation is recorded and you carry on.
3. If it was a mistake, choose I uploaded the wrong file and remove it.

If the Session was public, it's automatically switched to private until you confirm rights — you can make it public again afterward from Settings.

Selling flagged audio

A Session whose audio matched a commercial recording needs a one-time manual review before it can be sold — the publish flow collects licensing documentation for an admin to approve. Details in Selling music.

Formal notices

Rights holders can submit a formal copyright notice on the Copyright & DMCA page. Notices are reviewed by a human, and accounts that repeatedly infringe lose access.
