Copyright & Content Reports
Last updated: August 29, 2026
Reporting copyrighted material
If you own the rights to a work and find it here without permission, write to [email protected]. You do not need an account.
Tell us who you are, which work it is, and a link to the content. We review every report, and if it has merit we block access to the content.
1. What is hosted here
Two very different things live on this platform.
- Our catalog. Sheet music we engrave ourselves or license, published by our editorial team. Nothing reaches the public catalog without a curator publishing it — users cannot publish to it.
- User Drive. Private cloud storage for subscribers. Teachers upload their own materials and share them with students in their own classes. These files are not public, are not indexed, and do not appear anywhere in our catalog or search.
2. Reporting copyrighted material
Write to [email protected]. You do not need an account to report. Where a report button is shown next to content, that works too and reaches the same queue.
Please include:
- Who you are, and your relationship to the work (owner, publisher, agent)
- Identification of the work
- A link to the content you are reporting
- A way for us to reach you
3. What happens after a report
Every report lands in a queue that a human reviews. If we find the report has merit, we block access to the content.
Blocking access is not deletion. The uploader keeps their file and can still see it in their own Drive, marked as restricted. We do this deliberately: a report can be mistaken, and destroying someone's work on the strength of an unverified claim is not a neutral act. We record who took the action and when.
4. If your content was restricted
Reply to the notice we sent you, or write to the address above. Tell us why you believe you have the right to use the material — you own it, you licensed it, it is in the public domain, or the report identified the wrong item. We will look again.
5. Repeat infringement
We keep a record of restricted content per account. Accounts that repeatedly upload material they have no right to share may lose upload access or be closed.
6. A note on public domain music
Three things get confused often, and the difference matters when you report or when you upload:
- A work can be in the public domain while a specific engravingof it is still protected. Beethoven is public domain; a modern publisher's edition of it is their typesetting.
- A recording of a public domain work carries its own rights, separate from the composition.
- A file downloaded from a score-sharing site is not automatically free to reuse — it is somebody else's transcription.
