As an artist utilizing the Content ID Tool provided by HAAWK, Inc. through identifyy dot com, I have encountered a concerning situation. Despite six months of service usage and an impending royalty payment, my account was abruptly banned without warning or explanation. The lack of communication from Identifyy has left me without understanding the cause for this suspension. Under our agreement, I was to receive 70% of the revenue generated from my content used in YouTube videos, with HAAWK, Inc. retaining 30%. To date, I have not received any payment, and the full revenue appears to be retained by Identifyy, amounting to approximately USD $600. It was just one week before my payment date when my account was banned. This action raises concerns about unfair business practices and potential violations of YouTube’s Content ID service terms. I would like to remind you of the commitment made by Identifyy, as communicated by Alexa Tamara (Director of Client Experience & Moderatione) from Identifyy on September 28th, 2023, which outlined the royalty payment schedule and the process for administering my music rights. Given the circumstances, I requested an open dialogue to address this matter. Transparency and fairness are crucial in our professional relationship instead of running away with our royalties. I respected the company and I am quite shocked this happened despite considering this as a risk factor from other reviewers, well it happened to me so why wouldn`t it happen to you? $600 is not the end of the world but imagine something more significant. I hope that Google takes action to protect the community and revoke their access to this powerful Content ID (CMS) tool as this is clearly a misuse, and I encourage affected artists to reach out to YouTube and report Identifyy’s unfair business practices. Let’s safeguard our creative rights and ensure fair treatment for all artists. I recommend artists exercise caution when considering services like Identifyy. Considering all reviews, you might be better off with your music distributor!

They had me WASTE my time uploading my whole catalog, several emails back & forth for more info, only to reject it. Claimed from an opinionated projection, they couldn't make enough money off my hard work they did nothing to create.(Anything is better than nothing when you're not the talent.) Look up their competitors(Who also take less of a percentage also), I can tell you as I continue to grow I wont forget this experience. Their advertisement on how you can benefit from their coverage is very deceptive!

Worst site scammed my money and banned me for no reason

THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE!!! I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM SINCE ABOUT MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND UPLOADED TONS OF MY BEATS THAT I KNOW WERE BEING USED WITHOUT MY AUTHORITY, TIME PASSED AND IM SEEN THEY STARTED TO COLLECT , FAST FORWARD TO THE MONTH BEFORE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE PAID AROUND $4000 MY ACCOUNT IS BANNED WITH NO REASON OR ANY KIND OF COMMUNICATION! AND I AM 100% SURE THEY ARE TRYING TO JUST KEEP MY FUNDS BECAUSE I AM SURE YOUTUBE HAS ALREADY PAID THEM! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY ! I AM TRYING TO CONTACT A LAWYER ABOUT THIS ISSUE !

This company is the worst I have seen in a while. Very bad costumer support (Adam from Identifyy) should be fired. I have lost around 8000€, because they terminated my account for no reason! Best thing that could happen to this company would be if someone would file a lawsuit against them. If you see this and look for an alternative, use DistroKid, I only had good experiences with them. 8000€ LOST!!

I have a catelog of generic stock music that can be licensed for sale. Because some of these tracks were licensed non-exclusively to a game company, Identifyy would not allow these to be added because they now considered them to be "game music" even though the tracks could be licensed and used in any media production anywhere and with multiple clients. They were obviously wrong. They then said I could continue to submit tracks if they were never licensed to any game company. So I went through my catalog of 4000+ tracks (spending dozens of hours) to figure out which ones were not licensed to any game company. Because some gamers coincidentially were playing my music in the background while playing completely unrelated games and some games even went so far as to use my music without licensing it, they thought that I was still uploading game music. (Admitedly, of the 4000+ tracks, a few sold to game companies did slip by. But since Identifyy doesn't allow you to see what videos are being claimed until 3 months later, there's no way I could have known this from them. I offered to whitelist them if they brought them to my attention.) Anyhow, Identifyy clearly doesn't understand how stock music libraries work... And just because some tracks were licensed non-exclusively to a game, doesn't make them game music. Hypocritically, Identifyy has no problem supporting the catalogs of other stock music companies, such as Immediate Music, whose works do appear in many soundtracks. (But it's still stock music!) Thankfully, they still paid out my earned royalties during that time. But terrible customer service, terrible knowledge of the industry, favortism, hypocrisy, and lies. Wasted my time. Warning people before they waste their time.
