Sending a copyright notice

The Copyright notices page is the place to send a formal notice about a music track that uses your work without permission. The form can be used without signing in.

Read the page's statements and the Terms of Service before sending. This is a sworn form, separate from an ordinary Report in the app. This wiki explains the fields and controls; the copyright page contains the actual notice wording and designated contact.

Identify the material#

Under The material on Glob Social, enter the Track or device address or public id. Put one reference on each line. You can name up to 30 tracks in the same notice.

Use the address of the specific material, rather than only a person's profile or the room where you found it. Keep the reference focused on the track itself, so the reviewer can identify the material you mean.

Under The work you say was copied, identify your work and where it is published or registered. Give enough information to distinguish it from other works. The field is for the work you say was infringed, rather than a general complaint about the creator.

For a different kind of content, use Reporting or contact [email protected] with the relevant link. Do not put an unrelated node or picture into a track field.

Enter your details#

Who you are asks for:

• Your full name.
• Your email address.
• Your postal address.
• Your phone number.

The copyright page explains that the notice is forwarded to the people credited on the material, including the claimant's contact details. Read that disclosure before entering and sending your information. The Privacy Policy covers data handling.

Read and sign the statements#

Read each checkbox under Statements. The form requires the good-faith, accuracy and authority statements, followed by Signature (type your full name).

An optional checkbox addresses expected court proceedings. Read the exact text on the form before selecting it. The wiki does not make that choice for you or replace the statements you sign.

Select Send notice when the details are complete. The form checks its required fields and marks anything you need to correct. A highlighted field or Check the boxes marked below. A notice must have every part. means submission has not completed.

Keep the confirmation#

A successful submission shows Your notice was received. and a reference with the time received. Keep that reference for correspondence about the case.

Receipt is different from a decision to remove the material. Staff review the notice. The copyright page describes the notice, response and restoration process; use it for the current process wording.

If it cannot send#

The form gives different messages for missing information, an unrecognised track or device, a temporary failure, and notices that cannot be accepted through the form.

That did not go through. Nothing was sent. Try again. means the attempt did not succeed. Correct the stated problem or retry when connected. If the form asks you to use email, use the designated copyright contact shown on the copyright page.

The designated contact's details can be unavailable while the rest of the form remains visible. If those details cannot be loaded, the page says so. Do not guess an address from an old document.

If a notice was sent about your own work, see Answering a copyright notice.
