Avevo un account presso Identifyy e loro, senza dare nessuna spiegazione, lo hanno chiuso (tenendosi tutti i soldi maturati).
Oggi, a distanza di anni ho scoperto che centinaia di registrazioni sono passate a haawk e loro stanno, di fatto, rubando i diritti sulle mie registrazioni di YT, Meta e Tiktok.
Veramente squallidi!

Read this before signing up with Identifyy / HAAWK
After years as one of HAAWK (Identifyy's) largest and earliest clients, I never expected leaving them to be this bad. I was actively recruited, trusted them with my entire catalog, and even recommended them to colleagues. The moment I decided to move to another provider, everything changed.
When I informed them I was leaving, they immediately offered a better revenue split to convince me to stay. I declined. What followed felt like a deliberate attempt to make my departure as difficult as possible.
First, their support gave me the wrong contract end date. I only got the correct one after following up a second time. Worth noting: Identifyy never provides clients with a copy of their contract. They refer you to a general page with no indication of when your specific contract started.
When I requested my YouTube asset IDs, I was told YouTube does not allow sharing them externally. This is false. Providing asset IDs upon offboarding is standard practice across the industry, confirmed in writing by multiple other providers.
Instead of following the standard Content ID transfer procedure, Identifyy simply deactivated all references, making it impossible for my new provider to take ownership normally. I am now forced to manually re-upload thousands of tracks from scratch. Months of work that should have taken days.
My assets were removed the very next day after I notified them I was leaving, breaking the entire transfer process and leaving my catalog unmonetized for weeks. Days later, their representative wrote confirming they would be removed on the originally agreed date. The assets were already gone.
After all this, all my tracks still show as active in the dashboard. When I asked, I was told to check the dashboard. This directly contradicts everything they told me.
They also contacted me after our contract had already ended to offer Meta monetization. Either they had no idea the contract was over, or they were making one last attempt to retain me.
When they needed my business, responses were fast and friendly. The moment I raised legitimate concerns, the tone shifted to short, passive aggressive replies, then complete silence, despite clear deadlines and plenty of time to deal with everything in a professional manner.
I am not alone. There are plenty of reviews online describing the exact same pattern. The contract term is three years. Miss your exit window by even one day and you are locked in for another three. Do not take that risk lightly.
If they are willing to mislead and obstruct during offboarding, ask yourself: can they really be trusted with something as important as your royalties?
Document everything and think very carefully before signing up.

HAAWK for a 3rd Party engages in questionable practices, including filing false copyright claims, leading to widespread allegations that it operates like a scam. I have very bad experience from them on youtube, and I am actually taking steps to report them for fraud and take this case futher as I am gathering thousands of youtubers that can proove their false copywrights claims.
