About

Independent rights protection, built for the AI era.

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.

Why we exist

Detection became cheap. Proof did not.

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.

What we believe

Act only on what you can prove.

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.

How we work

You approve. We execute. Everything on record.

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.

Our story

Built by people who needed it.

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.

Foundation

The engine

Proprietary audio fingerprinting built and tuned in-house - designed from day one for covers, derivatives, speed and pitch shifts, not only exact copies.

Operations

The enforcement desk

A trained review team and an enforcement workflow covering rights-management programs, statutory notices, distributor withdrawals and reference-database registration.

Platform

One dashboard

Detection, evidence, approvals, actions, disputes and reports in one place - for labels, publishers, distributors and catalog owners.

Today

Independent, global

A US-registered company with a team of around fifty, serving rights holders worldwide across UGC, streaming, download, live and the wider web.
