Your Challenge
Unlicensed music slips into brand, employee, and influencer posts every day. Takedowns, muted ads, and legal claims can ambush your campaign and reputation - long after your content is live.
The Hidden Risk_
Unlicensed Music is Everywhere
Most brands assume platform music libraries cover commercial use. They don't. Every branded post with unlicensed music is a ticking legal time bomb.
Takedowns Kill Campaigns
One copyright claim can mute your video, pull your ad, or tank a campaign you spent months building — often without warning.
Legal Claims Are Escalating
Rights holders are actively suing brands. Damages reach into the hundreds of millions. 8% of SMEs have already received warning letters.

FAQ_
Yes. Platform music libraries (like TikTok's Commercial Music Library) only cover limited commercial use. Most popular songs require separate sync licenses for branded content — and many brands don't know this until it's too late.
Risks range from video takedowns and muted content to formal copyright claims and lawsuits. Legal damages can reach $150,000 per song in the US. In Europe, warning letters (Abmahnungen) with claims of €5,000–40,000 per video are increasingly common — and the claim value grows the longer the video stays online.
