DistroKid is a music distributor — it delivers tracks to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and every other streaming service at once. This is the most powerful music takedown route: a successful report here removes the infringing release from every platform simultaneously.

The fastest route

Biggest music distributor. A takedown here removes the track from every streaming service at once.

What to include in your takedown

DistroKid — like every DMCA recipient — needs the same core information to action a report. Include:

• Your full name and contact details (email, physical address if required).
• A link to your original work — your portfolio, the Instagram post, the date you published it. Proof of ownership matters.
• A short description of the work so the reviewer can match it.
• The exact URL(s) of the infringing listings or content on DistroKid.
• A good-faith statement: "I have a good-faith belief that the use of this material is not authorised by me, my agent, or the law."
• A statement under penalty of perjury: "I confirm under penalty of perjury that the information above is accurate and that I am the copyright owner (or authorised to act on behalf of the owner)."
• Your electronic signature — your typed full name is fine.

Tip: TakeItDown.art's case builder generates a clean, properly-formatted message with all of this pre-filled — just paste your details once and copy the result.

How long does it take?

Music distributors take reports seriously — expect 3–10 business days. When they act, the impact is platform-wide.

If DistroKid ignores you

If DistroKid doesn't respond, contact each downstream streaming platform (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp) individually. Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) are also relevant if royalties are being collected.
