Copyright & DMCA Policy

DMCA Safe Harbor Notice

Music-To-Sheet qualifies for safe harbor protection under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"). As a condition of that protection, we have designated a copyright agent to receive notices of claimed infringement, and we respond expeditiously to valid takedown notices. We also maintain and enforce a repeat infringer policy as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

Our service acts as a conduit and processing tool — we do not host user-uploaded audio after processing is complete. Audio files are permanently deleted from our servers immediately after each conversion. This ephemeral nature is relevant context for any takedown request.

Designated DMCA Agent

Our designated agent to receive notices of claimed copyright infringement is:

How to File a Takedown Notice

If you believe that content accessible through Music-To-Sheet infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed — for example, the song title, composer, recording artist, label, and publication date.
3. Identification of the specific material claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail for us to locate it — for example, the track name, account identifier, and a description of the generated sheet music or output.
4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Takedowns for AI-Generated Output

Copyright holders may also request removal of AI-generated sheet music output that was produced from a protected composition or recording. We treat these requests with the same priority as standard DMCA notices.

For an output takedown request, please include in your notice:

• The title, artist, and (where known) ISRC or ISWC identifier of the protected work.
• A description of how the generated output reproduces or derives expression from the protected work.
• All other elements listed in the "How to File a Takedown Notice" section above.

Counter-Notice Process

If your content or output was removed or disabled and you believe this was done in error — for example, because you hold the necessary rights, or because you believe your use qualifies as fair use — you may submit a counter-notice to our DMCA agent.

A valid counter-notice must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which Music-To-Sheet may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and, absent a court order, restore or re-enable the content within 10–14 business days.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Music-To-Sheet has adopted and enforces a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

We may accelerate or skip strikes at our sole discretion where infringement is willful, commercial in nature, or involves a large volume of copyrighted works. A single sufficiently egregious violation may result in immediate permanent termination without prior warning.

Fair Use & Copyright Exceptions

Nothing in this policy limits or abridges any rights you may have under fair use (US), fair dealing (UK, Canada, Australia), or other applicable copyright exceptions in your jurisdiction. Music-To-Sheet recognises that personal study, commentary, criticism, parody, and educational transcription may qualify for copyright exceptions in many jurisdictions.

If you believe your use qualifies as fair use or another applicable exception, you may include this information in any counter-notice you submit. We will consider such information in good faith.
