1. Action Required: Your release is not approved
Thanks for uploading music to amuse!
We have reviewed your release and found a few issues we need you to have a look at before we can deliver it to the stores. Please keep in mind that when we review your release, we comply with the rules that the stores (Spotify, Apple Music etc.) have given us. If no issue is mentioned below, please contact us by responding to this email.
Your music will NOT be released until these issues are resolved. Please address the following:
Potential copyright infringement - unauthorized samples/derivative work
We've reviewed your release carefully and believe there are uncleared samples or that it is considered derivative work. (e.g., remixes, medleys, mashups, etc.)
Samples from other artists' songs must be cleared for distribution. To upload derivative work, you need the permission of the copyright holder of the pre-existing song.
What's next?
If you have the required rights to provide this content, please respond with the following two things:
Documentation that confirms your rights (contracts, receipts for bought samples, links to non-exclusive beats, etc.).
The sentence “I state under penalty of perjury that I have the necessary rights to post and monetize from the content found at insert name of your Release“.
Please include both the documentation and the sentence in your response. This infringement will count as a strike on your account unless refuted. Unlawful use of copyrighted material violates our Terms of Use and could lead to your account being closed.
If you have the rights to this instrumental/sample, make sure you do not delete your release, as we won’t be able to process it or make changes once it's been deleted.
