Private rights enforcement for the modern music industry.
Digital distribution has made it easier than ever for unauthorized parties to upload, monetize, and claim recordings they do not control. SoundRights exists to help verified rights holders respond with structure, evidence, and professional enforcement communication.
SoundRights supports artists, labels, managers, publishers, estates, catalog owners, and music companies in platform-facing and distributor-facing rights disputes. The organization does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee specific outcomes; every action is conditioned on verified authority, sufficient evidence, and a clearly defined requested action.
Verified rights. Verified representation.
SoundRights acts only where a valid rights basis and authorization can be established. Every case requires supporting documentation, clear ownership information, and a defined requested action before enforcement communication is initiated.
