Copyright & Music

Episodes on Oddega are sold, so everything in them, music included, has to be yours to use. Here's what that means, and what to do if you think someone has used your work without permission.

Use Music You Have the Rights To

What counts

  • Music you made yourself.
  • Music made with Create With AI in Oddega.
  • Royalty-free or stock music whose licence allows commercial use, including paid video.

What doesn't

  • Songs from Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.
  • A track you bought for personal listening.
  • Music under a “royalty-free for personal use” licence.
  • Tracks labelled “no copyright” or “copyright free” without a licence that allows commercial use.

When you upload music, you confirm it's your own or you have a licence to use it in paid episodes.

Report Copyright Infringement

If you think an episode uses your work without permission, email contact@oddega.com. Under U.S. law (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) your notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. The work you say is infringed.
  3. The episode link, and where in the episode the work appears.
  4. Your contact details: name, postal address, phone number and email.
  5. A statement that you believe, in good faith, that the use isn't authorised by the owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

What Happens Next

We remove or disable the reported content and tell the creator who uploaded it.

If the creator believes it was removed by mistake, they can send a counter-notice to contact@oddega.com. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • The content that was removed, and where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address and phone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court for your address (or, outside the U.S., any district where Oddega may be found), and that you'll accept service from the person who sent the notice or their agent.

We pass valid counter-notices to the person who reported the content. The content may be restored 10 to 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, unless they tell us they've filed a court action to keep it down.

Repeat Infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
