Content ID for Spotify – Take Control of Your Music
The Solution for Unauthorized Covers, Remixes, and Derivative Works
Unauthorized covers, remixes, and reworks of your music are everywhere—diluting your brand, taking away revenue, and operating outside your control. Until now, rights management on Spotify has been limited. We saw this firsthand while working in the industry, especially at Universal Music. So, we built the solution.
Introducing Content ID for Spotify
Content ID for Spotify is the first system of its kind, allowing artists, labels, and rights holders to track, manage, and control unauthorized derivatives of their music on Spotify. Whether it’s an unofficial remix, an unlicensed cover, or an altered version of your song, you now have the power to decide what happens next.
How It Works
Our advanced system scans Spotify for derivative works of your music, detecting unauthorized versions using industry-leading pattern recognition technology. When a match is found, you get to decide how to deal with it.
Allow Track to Remain
Not all unauthorized uploads are harmful. Some covers and remixes help grow your audience, bringing new listeners to your original song. If you believe a version adds value to your catalog, you can choose to let it remain on Spotify.
Take It Down Instantly
If an unauthorized cover, remix, or derivative version of your song is causing harm to your brand or revenue, you can remove it immediately.
Monetize It
Instead of removing an unauthorized track, you can turn it into an income stream. Our system allows you to claim and monetize unlicensed covers, remixes, and other derivatives so that you earn from every stream.
