Copyright and DMCA

Before sending a notice

• Identify whether the concern is user-generated content, third-party metadata, album artwork, artist imagery, or a link to an external service.
• If the concern involves Spotify, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, or Cover Art Archive data, ListenDex may need to route the issue to the upstream provider or remove the affected display from ListenDex.
• Only the rights holder or an authorized representative should submit a formal takedown notice.

Takedown notice contents

• Your legal name, company if applicable, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
• A description of the copyrighted work or rights you claim are infringed.
• The exact ListenDex URL or enough detail for us to locate the material.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, agent, or law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Where to send notices

Send copyright notices, album-art disputes, metadata rights concerns, and repeat-infringer reports to copyright@listendex.app. Broader legal or provider-policy questions can be sent to legal@listendex.app.

Counter-notices

• If your content was removed because of a copyright complaint and you believe removal was a mistake, email copyright@listendex.app with the affected URL, your account, and a clear explanation.
• ListenDex may require the formal counter-notice elements required by applicable law before restoring content.

Repeat infringers

ListenDex may restrict or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe rights or repeatedly post content that creates copyright risk.
