Copyright / DMCA Policy
Last updated: July 2, 2026
1. Overview
stems.pro is a tool for musicians to process recordings they own or are licensed to use. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same, as required by our Terms of Service. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
2. Filing a Takedown Notice
If you believe content stored on stems.pro infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing all of the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (for example, the song or stem URL within the service).
- Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly and notify the user who uploaded it.

4. Counter-Notice Procedure
If material you uploaded was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our DMCA Agent a written counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
On receipt of a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days.
5. Repeat Infringers
We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also suspend or terminate accounts for a single serious act of infringement at our discretion.
6. Misrepresentation Warning
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys’ fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider. Please make sure your notice or counter-notice is accurate and made in good faith before submitting it.
