Bootlegs
We do not permit unofficial recordings such as Radio Broadcasts, Live Albums, Rare/Early/Leaked Recordings, Interviews, and other releases commonly classified as “Bootlegs”, unless they are delivered to us by the same partners who delivered the respective artist’s recognized discography.
Public Domain Recordings
We do not permit Public Domain (“PD”) recordings unless delivered by the same partners who delivered the respective artist’s recognized discography. (“PD” is defined as recordings which have fallen out of copyright protection in specific territories.)
Misleading Metadata
We do not permit content that misleads customers by mimicking popular titles or common search terms. This includes content that contains images, artist names, album titles, or song titles that are identical or similar to other well-known entities.
For example:
1. Content featuring artist names in metadata where the artist is not a collaborator on the track or album (including slightly edited versions of popular artist names).
2. Illegitimate use of well-known song/album/artist names in track or album titles.
3. Artist, album or track titles containing references to popular movies, books, theatre productions, video games, social media, TV shows, or other cultural brands, franchises or characters, unless published by an established rights holder of the same.
