Dear Musicians,

Sound Cloud, YouTube, Vimeo and numerous other streaming websites are an open and endless resource for people who rip and steal someone’s original work, without purchasing any license or without any credit to them.

We understand how much passion and soul you put into every single piece of music you produce and we want to help you protect it. We have developed an application that allows you to easily and effectively add an audio watermark to your audio files!

The Need to Protect Your Original Music from Piracy

It’s sad but true, every day; numerous musicians become a victim of piracy. It’s even more sad that people who download songs illegally are only growing in number. Hoping for these people to understand and realize how much effort a musician puts into making music or waiting for them to realize it’s a wrong thing to do is futile! So, what can musicians do? To put it simply, you must protect your music with audio watermarking.

If you think that just because people are downloading your music illegally, it’s building your ‘brand’ in some way, you are not only delusional but also making it worse for other musicians who want to protect their music. You first need to realize yourself how important your work is. If you really want to build a brand and want people to take your work seriously you need to first change your attitude! Your music is the result of your hard work and you must respect that, as much as everyone else must.

Reasons you need to protect your music:

  1. Protection
    The first and most important reason is the fact that watermarking your audio ensure your work is not misused and you receive due credit for it. You also help make the music industry in whole, protected and secure.

  2. Assume Responsibility
    Watermarking your audio not only protects them but also reflects that you assume complete responsibility for the work you share. This shows an attitude of professionalism.

  3. Asset Building
    With every audio file you watermark, you are actually building your own assets. Every time someone needs to use your music, they need to seek your permission, give you credit or buy a license for it and you also make money!

  4. Builds credibility
    Watermarking your audio files builds your credibility as a musician. It shows that you take your work seriously and that you are someone who stands against piracy.

Here is some piracy based statistics that are real Eye Openers:

  • Since 1999, when file sharing was first introduced, the music sales in the US had a whopping decline of over 50%.

  • Between 2004–09, approximately a whopping 30 BILLION SONGS were downloaded illegally across all streaming and file sharing platforms.

  • Analytics show that across the world, about 24% of the internet usage, at any point in time, is being used to download music illegally.

  • Every year around 70,000 people loses their jobs in the US alone as a result of the deficit in the revenues from music piracy.
    One of the main reasons for this ever-increasing surge in downloading of pirated music is the lack of knowledge and awareness. A very small percentage of people actually know that downloading music from P2P file sharing platforms is illegal.

And if that’s not scary enough,

Music Piracy accounts for a total of 2.9% of the total online piracy!
