How it works

From catalog to takedown, step by step.

No black box. This is exactly what happens to your catalog inside SONPROOF - and where you stay in control.

The road

Five steps. You hold the pen on step four.

Step 01

Onboard your catalog

Deliver audio and metadata - DDEX feed, CSV or direct upload. We fingerprint every recording, register ownership, splits and territories, and confirm the rights picture with you. Nothing goes live on an unverified ownership record.

Step 02

Continuous monitoring

The engine scans UGC platforms, streaming services, download and stem sites, livestreams and the open web on rolling cycles, checking new content against your fingerprints - masters, covers, derivatives and AI versions alike.

Step 03

Human verification

Rights analysts review every machine match: confirm it, rule out licensed uses and false positives, and assemble the evidence pack - matched segment with timestamps, similarity score, source capture.

Step 04

Your approval

Verified cases appear in your dashboard. Approve them one by one, or under an approval policy you set with your account team. This is the rule the whole platform is built around: nothing is filed without your sign-off.

Step 05

Enforcement & reporting

We file through the correct channel for each platform, monitor the response, escalate where a platform drags its feet, and record the outcome. You see every action and its result in the case history.

Honest enforcement

The right channel for each platform.

Platforms differ in what they allow rights holders to do. We use the strongest lever each one actually offers - and we are straight with you about the difference.

Claim & monetize

YouTube · Meta

Where your catalog is eligible, claims run through YouTube Content ID / CMS and Meta Rights Manager - so qualifying uses can be monetized or blocked at scale rather than only removed.

Takedown

TikTok & UGC platforms

Formal copyright complaints through each platform's own reporting channel, backed by DMCA / notice-and-action rules and our evidence pack, with repeat-infringer escalation where policies provide it.

Store delisting

Streaming & download stores

Unauthorized releases and cover uploads on DSPs are reported to the store and, where relevant, to the distributor that delivered them - the fastest route to getting a release pulled.

Host & registrar notices

Piracy sites

For rip sites and file lockers we serve notices on the site, its hosting provider and - for persistent operations - search engines, cutting discoverability as well as the file itself.

Response times vary by platform, and no honest vendor will promise instant removal. What we promise instead: every notice is tracked, chased and escalated until it is resolved - and you can watch that happen per case.

Visibility

You watch every case move.

Each case carries a live status - pending review, awaiting your approval, filed, resolved - with the full evidence and action history one click away.

If an uploader disputes an action, the case reopens with their counter-notice attached, and our analysts advise on next steps under our Counter-Notice Policy.
