Copyright and Content Removal Policy

1. What Life of Art shows

Life of Art does not host, stream or sell music. For each song, we show its title, artist name, cover art, genres, language and release details, and link to it on third-party platforms. These details come from public music databases, from streaming platforms and from artists who submit their own songs.

2. If you are the artist

If a song of yours is on Life of Art and you would rather it was not, for any reason, write to support.lifeofart@gmail.com with a link to the song's page on Life of Art. If you submitted the song yourself, write from the email address on your account. We remove songs within 15 days, and usually much sooner. You can also ask us to correct the details or cover art shown for your song.

3. Copyright complaints

If you own the copyright in something shown on Life of Art, or hold an exclusive licence to it, and you believe it appears without permission, send a written complaint to support.lifeofart@gmail.com. Following rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013, please include:

2. details showing that the copy on Life of Art infringes your copyright and is not a permitted use under section 52 of the Copyright Act, 1957;

4. What happens next

1. We acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours.
2. If we are satisfied from your complaint that the content infringes your copyright, we disable access to it within 36 hours of receiving the complaint.

5. Trademarks, privacy and other complaints

For complaints about trademarks, impersonation, privacy or any other unlawful content, see our Grievance Redressal page.

6. Repeat infringement and false complaints

We end the accounts of users who repeatedly submit content that infringes other people's rights. Sending a complaint you know to be false may make you legally liable, so please complain only about content you own or are authorised to act for.
