We recognise that artists often draw inspiration from musicians they look up to. Copyright law ensures that the creators of original music have exclusive rights to their works to safeguard their interests.

At GYROstream, we prioritise the protection of our music distribution clients' rights. To ensure your music is safeguarded, we offer comprehensive Digital Rights Management (DRM) services at no extra cost. Our DRM coverage extends across several platforms, including SoundCloud, Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, for YouTube, we provide rights management through our Content ID package.

We understand that copyright disputes may arise on platforms outside of those we directly manage. To support you in these situations, we have compiled a comprehensive list of submission forms for DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) claims.
