Samples, Remixes & Delivery to UGC Platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook)

If a release contains a sample, an unlicensed sample, or a remix, our fingerprint system flags it at submission and it will not be delivered to UGC platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat — in most cases even when a license is supplied. This also explains why a live release can be missing from only those platforms. You are notified in your dashboard after submitting.
