HI

 Has anyone ever used  DIstroKid for music. I found a song I want to use. I have sent several messages to them.  The responses are most likely AI responses because they do not address my questions about rights for the song.  Anyone have any dealings with this company or ideas for getting a response. I only want to use 25 secs. of the music.

Help

Thank you

DistroKid does not itself control rights to the music it helps to distribute. It does help its own customers obtain (and pay for) rights to create a cover of a song for distribution, but it doesn't own or register the works it distributes.

You'll want to contact the rights holder, and unfortunately that's not always easy.

Unfortunately, a very typical issue.  And it doesn't matter if you are dealing with a one person show or massive publishers like Sony.  Responses can take MONTHS.  My only suggestion is to be persistent.  Send a request each day.  Sometimes that will get attention.

And one other note... just because of your note that you only want 25 seconds.  That doesn't matter.  There is no "30 second rule" in US copyright law.

Hope this is helpful!
