I Want to Distribute Someone Else's Music. What's the Procedure?

If you want to distribute some music on behalf of someone else, here’s what you need to take into account before submitting the release to us:

Get Some Written Agreements

Before you go ahead and distribute someone else's work, make sure to have a written agreement with them first.

• It's really impotant to have a written proof (e.g. a signed agreement) that you are authorized by all parties involved in the release to release it.
• This document is crucial in confirming your role as the designated person in charge of the distribution.

Collaborations and Featuring Artists

If the project includes any kind of collaboration (featuring, remixes, etc.), it’s good practice to:

• Have a written proof (e.g. a signed agreement) with all participating artists or their representative.
• Confirm that all parties involved agree to the terms of the release, including the commercial use of their artist names within the project.

Why These Agreements Are Important

Having proper documentation is not just a formality. It protects you and ensures transparent compliance with legal standards.

• If there is any sort of conflict, claim, or dispute regarding the release, we may require you to provide these documents as proof that you hold the necessary rights to distribute the music.
• Failing to provide this proof could result in the release being removed from all stores. 
• Failing to demonstrate that you are the legitimate rights holder or legal representative of the recordings you submit to us constitues a violation of our terms of service.

Before You Submit Anything For Distribution

1. Verify that all artists and contributors involved are informed and have agreed to the release.
2. Confirm you have the necessary rights to distribute the recordings commercially.
3. Make sure that each agreement is signed by all parties involved. If any contract is post-dated, we will not accept it.

Once you have all these documents ready, you can submit your release to our team and we’ll let you know if further verifications are needed.
