Our Commitment to Copyright
We operate as a music promotion and discovery platform, and we work diligently to ensure that content published on our platform is shared with the knowledge or consent of relevant rights holders. However, we understand that errors can occur, and we have established a clear process to address them.
If you believe that any content hosted on 3MusicGh.com infringes your copyright, please follow the process outlined on this page. We will review all valid notices and take appropriate action, including removing infringing content, typically within 48–72 hours of receiving a complete and valid request.
What is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States federal law that addresses copyright issues in the digital environment. Even though 3MusicGh.com is based in Ghana, we respect and operate in accordance with the principles of the DMCA as an internationally recognised standard for handling copyright complaints online.
Under the DMCA’s “safe harbour” provisions, online platforms like ours are protected from liability for copyright infringement by users, provided we respond promptly to takedown notices from rights holders and maintain a repeat infringer policy.
