At Dishamusic , we recognize the importance of artists' rights, and we're committed to ensuring a fair platform for all users. Here's how we address disputes over music ownership:
- Notification of Dispute: If we receive a claim disputing the ownership of a track or album uploaded to our platform, we will promptly notify the party who uploaded the content, providing them with details of the dispute.
- Content Suspension: To maintain neutrality and fairness, we might temporarily suspend the distribution of the disputed content until the matter is resolved. This ensures that potential royalties are not misallocated during the dispute.
- Evidence Submission: Both parties involved in the dispute will be given an opportunity to provide evidence supporting their claims. This can include copyright registration documents, contracts, or any other pertinent materials that can help clarify ownership.
- Resolution: If both parties provide evidence, and there's still no clear resolution, we may advise the parties to seek legal resolution. Once there's a legal judgment or both parties reach an agreement, we will act accordingly, whether that means distributing accumulated royalties or reinstating/suspending the content further.
- Repeated Disputes: Users who repeatedly upload content that they do not have the rights to may face penalties, up to and including the termination of their Dishamusic account.
- Mediation: In some cases, if both parties are open to it, we might suggest mediation as a less formal, potentially faster alternative to legal proceedings.
- Education: We strive to educate our users on the importance of uploading only content they have rights to, and the potential legal and financial consequences of not doing so.
- Support & Guidance: Our support team is always available to provide guidance and answer questions related to ownership disputes. While we cannot offer legal advice, we can direct users to appropriate resources or recommend next steps based on our platform's policies.
We urge all our users to ensure they have the proper rights to any content they upload to Dishamusic . Addressing disputes can be time-consuming and potentially costly, so it's always best to ensure clarity about ownership from the outset.
