Report a copyright issue
Use this form to report copyright infringement or dispute the removal of your own material. Give us specific, accurate information so we can review the issue fairly and promptly.

Before you submit
A report is a legal claim, not a vote to remove someone’s work. We review notices for completeness and the information provided. Submitting this form does not automatically remove content, restrict an account, or restore a sample.
If two creators use the same licensed sample, that alone is not proof of infringement. Check the relevant permissions, licenses, and legal exceptions before making a claim.
For harassment, spam, or other concerns unrelated to copyright, use the content’s report menu or contact support.
What happens next
We review submissions promptly and may request clarification or missing information. When we receive a compliant infringement notice, we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the uploader, and explain how to submit a counter-notification.
For a compliant counter-notification, we provide a copy to the original claimant. Under the DMCA process, access is restored no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receipt, unless we first receive notice that the claimant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
We may restrict or terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Multiple reports do not automatically establish infringement; we consider the notices, responses, and outcomes.
This process does not decide copyright ownership or replace legal advice. Read the U.S. Copyright Office’s notice and counter-notice guidance (opens in a new tab) if you are unsure which submission applies.
