Copyright
policy

1. Our commitment

Tarabtronic is a record label, and protecting the work of artists is at the heart of what we do. We respect copyright and related rights, and we expect everyone who uses tarabtronic.com, the Tarabtronic Talent Pool and our Discord community to do the same. This policy explains how to report content you believe infringes your rights, what happens next, and how to respond if your content was removed.

2. What you can share

• Only share music you wrote and produced yourself, or a remix you have the right to share that clearly names the original artist.
• Every sample, loop, vocal and instrument in your track must be your own, royalty-free for this use, or cleared with the rights holder.
• Do not share leaks, rips, bootlegs you do not have permission for, pirated samples, cracked software or anyone else’s artwork, photos or videos.
• Uploading a track to SoundCloud or buying it does not give you the right to share someone else’s music as your own.

Rights holders can ask us to remove a remix of their work at any time, even if the original artist is credited.

3. How to report copyright infringement

If you own the rights to a work, or are authorised to act for the owner, and believe it is used on our services without permission, you can report it:

• Talent Pool track or comment: use the report button on the track page and choose “Uses my music without permission” or “The uploader is not the artist”.
• Anything else (our website, releases, Discord or social channels): email copyright@tarabtronic.com.

To help us act quickly, please include:

1. Your full name, the name of the rights owner if you act for someone else, and your email address.
2. A description of the copyrighted work, with a link to the original if possible.
3. The exact link (URL) to each item you want removed, or for Discord, the channel and a message link.
4. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law.
5. A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them.
6. Your typed full name as a signature.

4. What happens next

• We confirm we received your report and review it, usually within 48 hours on working days.
• If the report is complete and valid, we remove or disable access to the content and tell the person who posted it. We may share your name, email and the details of your report with them so they can respond.
• If a report is incomplete or unclear, we may ask you for more information before acting.
• Talent Pool tracks play from SoundCloud. Removing a track from the Talent Pool does not remove it from SoundCloud, so you may also want to report it to SoundCloud directly.
• Content in our Discord server can also be reported to Discord.

5. If your content was removed

If you believe your content was removed by mistake, or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to copyright@tarabtronic.com within 14 days. Please include your name and email, the link to the removed content, an explanation of why you believe the removal was a mistake (for example, a licence or permission you hold), a statement that the information is accurate, and your typed full name as a signature.

We may forward your counter-notice to the person who reported the content. If they do not confirm within 10 working days that they have started legal action, we may restore the content at our discretion.

6. Repeat infringers

We take repeated infringement seriously. Accounts that receive repeated valid copyright complaints may be suspended or permanently closed, and may lose access to the Talent Pool, contests and our Discord server. We may also act straight away in serious cases, such as uploading leaked or pirated music.

7. False or abusive reports

Only send a report if you own the rights or are authorised to act for the owner. Knowingly sending false or misleading reports or counter-notices can harm other artists and may lead to legal liability. We may ignore reports that are abusive or clearly unfounded, and close accounts that misuse the reporting system.

8. Demo submissions

Sending us a demo does not give Tarabtronic any rights to your music. We treat demos as confidential and use them only to decide whether we would like to work with you. To protect artists and rights holders, we may automatically check uploaded demo files and direct audio links with a music recognition service that compares short samples with released recordings. We receive a lot of music, so music we release that sounds similar to a demo you sent does not mean your demo was used. If you have a concern about a demo, email demos@tarabtronic.com.

9. Using Tarabtronic music and content

Our releases, name, logo, artwork and website content are protected. To use Tarabtronic music in a video, film, game, advert, event or any other project, contact licensing@tarabtronic.com for a licence. Do not re-upload our releases or use our name or logo in a way that suggests you are part of, or endorsed by, Tarabtronic. To report someone misusing Tarabtronic content, email copyright@tarabtronic.com.
