Every single track made available through That Pitch is strictly vetted to ensure absolute legal clearance, protecting content creators, brands, and music supervisors from copyright infringement.
Rather than banning sampling altogether, our platform enforces rigorous legal compliance standards regarding how audio assets are constructed before they can enter our distributed catalog.
Our Legal Audio Standards
To maintain an airtight legal chain of title, every piece of music distributed across our network must fulfill these specific parameters:
100% Original Content or Cleared Loops: Creators are permitted to use standard royalty-free loops, virtual instruments, and sound libraries. However, any track containing uncleared commercial samples, bootlegged audio phrases, or copyrighted melodies from other artists is strictly prohibited and banned from distribution.
Fingerprint Compliance: Creators are required to verify that any royalty-free elements used do not trigger overlapping digital fingerprint claims, ensuring the music is safe for immediate sync placement.
The Clearance Process: ClearedMusic.io
To guarantee these guidelines are enforced without human error, our platform integrates directly with ClearedMusic.io.
This automated acoustic fingerprinting and metadata auditing service runs as a complimentary layer on every account. The system actively scans incoming submissions against global copyright databases to detect uncleared audio anomalies or unauthorized duplicate tracks before they can ever be delivered to our library partners.
Because of this rigorous pre-distribution gate, you can rest assured that any music active on our platform has been legally cleared, thoroughly audited, and safely authorized for commercial use.
Simple version: Tracks on That Pitch are not required to be entirely "sample-free"—they can utilize completely legal, royalty-free production loops. However, every track is thoroughly scanned by ClearedMusic.io to guarantee it is 100% cleared and safe from copyright infringement before distribution.
