We’re proud to partner with the world’s leading music streaming platforms.
Stopping Music Fraud in Its Tracks
Distributing your music worldwide is only the beginning. Once your sound is out there, protecting it becomes just as important.
In today’s digital world, plagiarism and unauthorized use are all too common — costing artists both reputation and royalties.
At P Tune Studio, our Rights Management experts use advanced digital fingerprinting to monitor your tracks globally. We identify and alert you to any unauthorized usage — all at no extra cost. While others charge for protection, we make it part of your journey.
YouTube Content ID
YouTube Content ID scans the entire YouTube platform — not just YouTube Music — to detect any use of your copyrighted material. Whether it’s a vlog, livestream, or YouTube Short, any use of your track (in whole or part) will be automatically identified. When detected, you have the power to decide: Earn revenue from the usage or simply Track it for monitoring. You remain in full control of how and where your music is used. Enjoy YouTube Content ID protection at no additional cost, included with your music distribution through P Tune Studio.
Meta Rights Manager
Any time you release a new single or album to either Facebook or Instagram using P Tune Studio, you are able to secure the release with Facebook Rights Manager, completely free of charge. This will enable you to choose to ‘Monetise’, ‘Block’ or ‘Claim’ any content matches of your track(s) within our innovative dashboard, keeping your music yours.
TikTok Rights Management
Protect your music rights on TikTok. We assist you in claiming user-generated content (UGC) and earning your rightful royalties.
Soundcloud Rights Management
We carefully monitor SoundCloud for any content matches, automatically blocking any discovered match across the entire platform.

Digital Rights Management
We distribute your music to global streaming and social platforms, but not every one of them includes a built-in Rights Management system. When we talk about “Rights Management Platforms,” we’re referring to those with dedicated tools for tracking and monetizing your music usage:
- YouTube – via YouTube Content ID
- Facebook – via Facebook Rights Manager
- Instagram – via Facebook Rights Manager
- TikTok – via MediaMatch
- SoundCloud – via SoundCloud Deck
While distributing your releases, some platforms let you choose whether your music participates in their Rights Management system.
For example, you can deliver your tracks to YouTube Music without enabling Content ID, or to Facebook and Instagram without connecting to Rights Manager (through the Facebook Audio Library).
Digital Rights Management (DRM) gives you the confidence that your music is protected across the internet. As your distributor, we monitor and identify any unauthorised use of your music and take the right action — whether that means monetising, tracking, or requesting takedowns. This ensures your music isn’t used without your consent while helping you maximise your earnings at the same time.
When distributing to YouTube Content ID, it’s important to remember that the system doesn’t automatically know about any permissions you’ve granted to specific channels.
If there are creators or channels you’ve already approved, please inform our Client Support Team so we can safelist them — preventing false claims or unnecessary takedowns on your behalf.
YouTube’s Content ID, Facebook Rights Manager, and TikTok’s content tools are highly effective at identifying unauthorized use of copyrighted material. However, if a piece of content slips through undetected, you can still take action by submitting a manual copyright claim.
As experts in Digital Rights Management, our team is happy to handle manual claims on your behalf. Simply share the details of the infringing content and the asset it uses, and we’ll submit the claim for you — ensuring your rights stay fully protected.
If your track is originally composed and recorded by you, doesn’t use commonly matched sounds (like rainfall, ambient nature sounds, or royalty-free samples), and includes a clear, identifiable melody, it’s likely suitable for distribution to Rights Management platforms.
If you’re unsure about your track’s eligibility, our Client Management Team is always here to help — we’ll review your music and guide you through the process.
Rights Management platforms use advanced audio fingerprinting technology to detect whether your track shares any matching elements with other recordings.
If you’ve purchased a beat, hired a producer, or used a sample — there’s a strong chance other artists may have used that same sound. In such cases, your track may be flagged as having audio matches with other songs.
Even when a beat or sample is properly licensed, if it appears across multiple releases by different artists, your track will be considered ineligible for Rights Management distribution. This helps prevent ownership conflicts and protects the integrity of copyright claims across platforms.
On YouTube, a Copyright Claim — often referred to as a Content ID Claim — means that YouTube’s automated system has detected copyrighted material in a video (such as your music). This doesn’t always result in removal or penalties.
When a video receives a Copyright Claim, you as the rights holder can decide how to handle it. You may choose to monetize the video by placing ads, track its performance, or restrict it in certain countries.
A Copyright Strike, however, is a more serious enforcement action. It occurs when a rights holder files a formal takedown request because of confirmed copyright infringement. A Strike typically lasts around 90 days, during which the channel cannot monetize or live stream.
If a channel receives three Copyright Strikes, YouTube may permanently terminate it and ban the user from creating new accounts.
