Another piece of sh**( scam 3rd party company under YouTube! Corrupted and dirty, just wanting to steal from the small artists and prevent them from seeing their dreams! YouTube is so untrustworthy anymore! Don't trust these companies that they hire to screw you over for their own gains, make sure to fight back to take them down!

Pior empresa que já conheci em toda minha carreira. Atendimento ao cliente é horrível, você não consegue receber seus rendimentos, não te dão atenção quando necessário. Pedi pra retirarem meu catalogo da plataforma porque não quiseram me pagar, tenho mais de $100 USD retidos na empresa que não me pagaram. Pior burrada que fiz foi ter confiado nessa empresa.

Worst company I have seen in a long time. Very shady company!

Fraud! Thanks to them anyone can claims copyright to someone else songs. It’s just killing the YouTuber, content creators and even the original artist of the songs. We need winning petition and hopefully the authorities will soon dissolve them!

Dishonest organization that preys on YouTube creators who don't know their rights. They file automatic claims on music that they know is not theirs, hoping that the ignorant will buy a license from them.

This is my honest review after 6 months utilizing HAAWK’s services granted to them by Google, a service known as YouTube Content ID (CMS) tool. Lets be real, getting approved for Content ID directly from YouTube as an individual is not easy as this tool can be powerful if misused that's why YouTube reserves approvals for major labels and large media outlets, leaving artists to rely on third-party services like Adrev or HAAWK, Inc or similar. My music royalties was managed via Identifyy dot com dashboard, where we upload reference files for approval. Upon detection of matching content on YouTube platform, claims may be labeled as “HAAWK for 3rd Party,” representing artists like me as a third party. Despite respecting HAAWK’s prerogative to end agreements without prior notice, I believe effective communication is essential. Regrettably, I received no notification from HAAWK, and my attempts to contact them were met with silence, even when revisiting previous approval correspondences via email. They have withheld all revenue from claims on my assets, a act that could be seen as unfair and possibly in violation of YouTube’s Content ID policies. When it was time for my payment, I encountered an error message on my Identifyy dashboard, found myself banned, and discovered my assets removed from their files. The dashboard showed this message "Sorry, You are not authorized to perform this action." HAAWK also alleges to monetize assets on Facebook, which I found to be inaccurate as I personally manage my content with Meta Rights Manager and have not detected any activity from them. The royalties I’ve seen are solely from claimed YouTube videos featuring my music. With my music now removed from their database, it complicates any potential investigation by YouTube into their Content ID violations. If you’re considering HAAWK’s services, I urge you to document all earnings reports, as they may withhold your royalties—something I experienced firsthand six months in, right before one week payment was due. This situation is alarming, and I strongly recommend against using their services. I advise considering all available reviews online before making your decision. Your music distributor might be the only best option. Remeber to also consider reviewing their Identifyy Terms and Conditions before moving forward with HAAWK.

Absolute joke of a company. Why do you block every single video with music on? You never once check to see if we have paid to use it. Every single time!!! It is a waste of time as most of us actually pay to use the music. I guess this is about you and YouTube increase your revenues. Funny how certain popular music is aloud and other copyright issues. Does it make YouTube advert money? Stop automatically filing claims where there is proof of purchase. You check with the company not bully and hassle us.

I run a YouTube channel and before now I thought I was the only one. NOT only do they commit fraud they also commit extortion. If you don’t go through the hoops on their site they will reject the dispute on YouTube. Even then they reject your disputes. I’m using pixabay music and getting claimed by them. Report them to the fbi Interpol all agencies. Make sure they don’t have a legal safe leg.
