How copyright works here — what you can upload, how rights holders protect their work, and what happens when there's a claim. Humsunte is original-audio-first, which keeps this simple.
Copyright protects original work — a recording, a composition, a performance. On Humsunte you may only upload audio you created or have the rights to share. Uploading someone else's work without permission isn't allowed, even if you credit them.
✅
Upload only what's yours
Audio you can publish:
Recordings you made yourself — your music, podcast, lecture, or voice.
Content you've licensed, where you can show permission if asked.
Public-domain or openly-licensed material, used within its licence terms.
🚫
What's not allowed
Rips of music, podcasts, audiobooks, or video soundtracks you don't own.
Re-uploads of another creator's work without their permission.
AI voice clones of a real person made without their consent.
Background music or samples you don't have the rights to.
📩
If someone claims your upload
Rights holders can report a track they believe infringes their copyright. We review every claim. If a claim is valid, the track is removed or muted while the matter is resolved, and you're notified with the reason and your options.
⚠️

Disagree with a claim?
If you believe a claim is a mistake — you own the rights, it's licensed, or it's fair use — you can dispute it. We'll re-review with the information you provide. Knowingly filing a false claim or false dispute is itself a policy violation.

Why original-audio-first helps
Because creators publish original audio rather than re-uploading existing media, most copyright disputes simply never arise here. We don't host rips, and we'd rather prevent problems than police them.
