Sonproof is an independent company. We are owned by no label and allied to no platform. We exist to do one thing well: find every unauthorised use of our clients' music, prove it, and act on it - with a human standing behind every action we send.
Anyone can generate matches. What the market lacks is evidence-backed, human-verified enforcement from a vendor whose only client is the rights holder. Every neutral vendor that existed has been acquired by a label, a platform or a conglomerate. We built Sonproof to be the independent alternative.
False or careless claims harm creators, platforms and rights holders alike, and expose everyone to liability. A match score is a signal, not a decision. We review before we act, we publish how we measure accuracy, and we release an action the moment a dispute shows it was wrong.
From claim to takedown to dispute, our team runs the whole procedure through the channel each platform actually provides - and never promises more than a platform allows. Every case carries its full audit trail.
Sonproof grew out of the practical problem every catalog owner now faces: music spreads faster than rights teams can track it - re-uploaded, re-pitched, remixed and, increasingly, regenerated by AI - while the tools on offer are platform-owned, label-owned or detection-only. We spent years building our own recognition engine and an enforcement operation around it. Sonproof is that work, offered to the rights holders who need it most.
Proprietary audio fingerprinting built and tuned in-house - designed from day one for covers, derivatives, speed and pitch shifts, not only exact copies.
A trained review team and an enforcement workflow covering rights-management programs, statutory notices, distributor withdrawals and reference-database registration.
Detection, evidence, approvals, actions, disputes and reports in one place - for labels, publishers, distributors and catalog owners.
A US-registered company with a team of around fifty, serving rights holders worldwide across UGC, streaming, download, live and the wider web.
Bring a few ISRCs. We will show you what a week of monitoring looks like - and exactly what we would remove, claim or monetise for you.
