Copyright Check AI
Copyright Check AI is a fully managed audit service that scans a brand's public social profiles and influencer posts for unlicensed music, then delivers a spreadsheet report grading every violation and the action to take.
What is Copyright Check AI?
Copyright Check AI sells one thing: certainty about the music sitting in a brand's social media archive. Its homepage opens on eleven documented lawsuits — Sony against Gymshark, Warner against DSW and Crumbl, Universal against Bang Energy, Sony against Marriott — because the risk it addresses is not hypothetical. A single unlicensed track in an influencer video can, on the vendor's figures, expose a brand to up to USD 150,000 in damages, and the average brand is said to be carrying 63 violations on TikTok alone.
What it sells is a service, not software. There is no dashboard, no login and no account access: the team scans public channels only, using what it describes as in-house proprietary AI software, and returns its findings as a spreadsheet listing every flagged post, its risk level and a link to the video. Clients hand over their brand handles and receive a report; the vendor is explicit that there is nothing to learn and nothing to check.
Two offers structure the work. The Brand Profile Audit runs a full historical sweep across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and X, with regional checks for multi-account brands, weekly monitoring reports and a dedicated account team. Influencer Campaign Protection covers the posts a brand does not control, flagging violations within hours and supplying briefing documents to pass on to creators. The services page splits the same work three ways: full brand audits as a one-off fee, influencer audits and ongoing monitoring as monthly subscriptions.
Scale is the argument. One published case describes 6,281 posts and 846 videos across Instagram and TikTok reviewed in seven days rather than the four months an internal team was estimated to need, avoiding a claimed USD 21M in exposure. Another covers 600,000 posts across more than 450 accounts and six platforms, Pinterest included, inside a fixed three-month window. The company states it has protected brands from over USD 400M in potential damages.
None of it is legal advice. The terms disclaim responsibility for legal consequences and for inaccurate copyright information alike.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Copyright Check AI handles your data.
GDPR overview
Copyright Check never claims GDPR compliance in writing. The only occurrences of the term on the site come from the WordPress cookie-consent plugin behind its banner, which does offer granular control over strictly necessary and third-party cookies. The privacy policy appoints a Data Protection Officer without naming them or giving a dedicated address, and states that rights exist depending on your jurisdiction without listing any. International transfers are announced with no mention of standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision. No Article 27 representative is designated, no data processing agreement is offered and no subprocessor list is published. The policy carries a last-updated date of 01.01.2023, six months before the domain itself was registered. The terms of service are governed by UK law.
Who owns the data?
The terms of service contain no ownership or content-licence clause, so nothing on the site states who owns the material submitted for audit. The privacy policy is the only document that addresses data: it lists identification, social media, payment, usage and technical information as collected, and reserves the right to disclose it to trusted third-party service providers, to satisfy legal obligations, and in the event of a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring. As a self-described global company, Copyright Check may transfer that information outside a user's country of residence. A Data Protection Officer is appointed but never named. Feedback is the one item explicitly assigned: submitting it grants the vendor the right to reuse it.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the terms of service restricts what a client may do with the deliverable. The audit is returned as a spreadsheet listing every flagged post, its risk level and links to the highest-risk videos, and clients describe using it directly as an evidence package for their legal teams. No licence, no attribution requirement and no reuse condition is attached to it. The restriction runs the other way: clients may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer their rights under the terms. Copyright Check also disclaims liability for any incorrect information it provides, inaccurate copyright information included, so the report is freely usable but not warranted.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Nothing is published about where audit data is hosted: no country, no region and no provider is named anywhere on the site, and there is no trust or security page. The privacy policy states only that, as a global company, Copyright Check may transfer personal information to countries outside a user's country of residence, without naming a transfer mechanism such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision. It commits to appropriate technical and organizational measures, with no further detail. No certification — SOC 2, ISO 27001 or otherwise — is claimed. The contractual anchor is the United Kingdom: the terms of service are governed by UK law and disputes are resolved there. One observable data point sits outside the site's own statements: the public website resolves to 185.53.56.90, an address operated by Krystal Hosting Ltd in London, United Kingdom. That describes the marketing site only, and says nothing about where client audit data is processed or stored.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Copyright Check AI.
- The report is not legal advice: the terms exclude liability for legal consequences and for inaccurate copyright findings
- A missed violation stays a violation, and no contractual remedy covers it
- Acting on a false positive means pulling content that performs, which carries its own marketing cost
- Outsourcing monitoring can quietly erode whatever internal understanding of music compliance a team has
- Campaign and influencer data is handed to a vendor whose privacy policy says neither where nor for how long it is kept
- No data processing agreement, no subprocessor list and no hosting commitment: a regulated procurement team will be left with unanswered questions
- The fear-based statistics used to sell the service are unsourced, and an audit describes the past — without monitoring it is out of date at the next post
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Effectively none. There is nothing to install, no account to create and no connection to authorise: the site states that no logins and no security checks are needed. The only action asked of the client is to share the public handles of the brand's accounts, after which the team can start a first audit within hours. The deliverable is a spreadsheet, readable without any technical skill. The real effort is commercial and organisational — scoping the audit and going through the introductory call — rather than technical.

Should you pick Copyright Check AI?
Copyright Check AI answers a narrow question well: which posts in a brand's social archive carry unlicensed music, and what should be done about each of them. For a company publishing at volume across several platforms and working with creators it does not control, that question is genuinely hard to answer internally, and the two published case studies — 6,281 posts in seven days, 600,000 posts across more than 450 accounts — describe a scale no compliance function reviews by hand.
The price of that convenience is autonomy. There is no product to try, no dashboard to open and no API to call. Every route in goes through a sales call: one tier carries a public price, everything else is bespoke. Buyers who like to evaluate before speaking to anyone will find nothing to evaluate beyond a free assessment and a sample report.
The evidence on offer is also entirely the vendor's own. The lawsuits cited on the homepage are attributed to identifiable publications, but the numbers that sell the service — 63 violations per TikTok account, more than USD 400M of damages avoided — carry no source, and every client is anonymised. Procurement teams will find less still: no hosting jurisdiction, no data processing agreement, no subprocessor list, no certification, and a privacy policy last updated on 01.01.2023, before the domain was even registered. The site publishes three incompatible sets of addresses.
None of that makes the service ineffective, and the terms are clear about what it is not: it finds and grades exposure, it does not license music and it does not warrant its findings. Treated as an outsourced audit for a legal or marketing team that already suspects it has a problem, it fits. Treated as a compliance guarantee, it does not.
