AudioLock is a music specific anti-piracy service founded in 2010 by former DJ and electronic music producer Ben Rush.[1][2] AudioLock specialises in the automated removal of infringing music content,[3] using DMCA notices, across search engines Google, Yahoo, Bing and Yandex as well as cyberlockers, torrent sites, Usenet, SoundCloud, YouTube, Dailymotion, file search engines, VK, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. Digital watermarking is also utilised for the sending of promotional copies of the music in digital form to prevent pre-release leaks and detect their origin if distributed.[4][5][6][7]
In 2013 AudioLock in conjunction with the Association of Independent Music (AIM) held its first Music Piracy Prevention Forum in London. This led to the event being held again in 2015 along with the publication of a white paper; The Anti-Piracy Best Practice Guidelines.[8]
AudioLock is also a member of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM).
