Applying for rights on YouTube to the sound sources,
as well as to the productions that contain the sound sources,
is an infringement of the rights of the composer and the user, and must not be done.
If any of the above actions are confirmed, the rights holder or its agent may take action against the composer for copyright infringement, not just on YouTube.
1. Violation of the terms of use set by the licensee/composer

license of this site or violates the terms of use set forth by the
composer, a copyright infringement claim may be filed by the rights holder (the composer or this site and its agent "
TRACKS Inc.").
We share information about offending users among composers, and encourage them to take appropriate action when they discover that their sound sources are being used inappropriately.
2. If the complainant is "TRACKS Inc. (on behalf of DOVA-SYNDROME)"
The copyright management of the sound files on YouTube is outsourced to TRACKS Inc.

If you received a complaint about a YouTube video that uses a sound source published on this site by TRACKS Inc., the video may be in violation of the
license prohibitions or the composer's terms of use. YouTube accounts that are found to have multiple or flagrant violations will be blacklisted and copyright infringement claims will be filed for all subsequent videos found, regardless of whether or not they are in violation.
