What breaks at distributor scale
Three places the workflow fails today.
Mid-tier distributors lose 2–7% of client streaming revenue to unauthorized re-uploads. The detection side is partially solved by enterprise fingerprint vendors. The workflow side is not solved at all.
-
Pain 01
No way to scan client catalogs against all DSPs continuously
Your team services 5,000–50,000 releases. The incumbent answer is a fingerprint vendor on enterprise contract plus a Google Sheet of client-by-client status. Nothing watches Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube together, every hour, scoped per client.
-
Pain 02
Per-artist isolation requires manual workspace switching
Rights ops have to swap Sheets tabs, re-paste ISRC lists, and copy contact details every time they action a different client's finding. The audit trail is whoever remembered to update the spreadsheet last.
-
Pain 03
Counter-notice deadlines fall through cracks
A DSP acknowledges a takedown on day 0. The uploader files a counter-notice on day 7. You have 10–14 business days to respond — and nobody is watching the inbox alias the support form replies to.
The switch
What changes when you switch to DSP Watch.
The four operational shifts compliance leads at mid-tier distributors flag in week one.
- 1
Every client gets a sub-workspace with row-level-secured catalog isolation — switch context without changing browsers or tabs.
- 2
Scans run hourly across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube for every client, with findings ranked by an actionability score (catalog match + distributor-of-record mismatch + evidence completeness + urgency).
- 3
All 5 takedown adapters file with the right §512(c)(3) packet auto-routed to the matching DSP intake — dmca_generic, spotify_form, apple_form, youtube_cid, distributor_forward.
- 4
Per-client monthly enforcement reports export as PDF for the compliance review, with the hash-chained audit log attached as proof of process.
The aha moment
"Our compliance team filed 60 evidence-graded DMCA notices last quarter — auto-routed to the right DSP intake per finding."
The distributor workflow
From DDEX ingest to client report — in four steps.
The same loop you already run, with the manual gaps closed. No new ops model to learn — just the inbox you wish your spreadsheet was.
-
01
Bulk-onboard client catalogs via DDEX or CSV
Pipe your DDEX delivery feed straight into DSP Watch, or import client manifests as CSV. Each client becomes a scoped sub-workspace with its own ISRC/UPC manifest, designated agent, and contact details.
-
02
Pre-delivery duplicate check on ingestion
Before you ship a release to DSPs, DSP Watch scans it against existing manifests for ISRC collisions, UPC overlap, and known-bad uploader handles. Catch self-conflicts and re-uploads before they hit the store.
-
03
Post-delivery hourly DSP monitoring
Once the release is live, scans run every 60 minutes across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Findings surface in the ops inbox sorted by actionability — not raw similarity score.
-
04
File and report per client
Action the finding, file through the right adapter, log the counter-notice deadline. Export the client's monthly enforcement report at month-end, with the hash-chained audit log attached as defensible proof.
Recommended plan
Growth for mid-tier ops. Pro for catalog scale.
Most distributors land on Growth at $199/month for the team-seat tier with REST API and webhooks. Above ~25,000 releases or 50+ client sub-workspaces, the audit-export and unlimited seats on Pro at $499/month pay for themselves in the first compliance review cycle.

FAQ
Questions distributors ask before signing.
Can DSP Watch handle 50,000 releases across multiple clients?
Yes. The Pro plan supports unlimited tracks and unlimited seats, and the underlying catalog index is built for distributor-scale ingest. We have validated ingest paths for DDEX feeds, CSV, and ISRC/UPC paste — and every client sits in its own row-level-secured sub-workspace so a 50,000-release distributor can isolate 200 client portfolios without operational drag.
How does per-client isolation work for compliance ops teams?
Each client gets its own sub-workspace backed by Postgres row-level security. Rights ops staff can be granted access to a subset of client workspaces via the catalog manager or rights ops role. Switching between clients is a workspace switcher, not a browser-tab juggle, and every action writes to that client's own hash-chained audit log — billable reports are per-client by construction.
Does DSP Watch run pre-delivery duplicate checks before we ship to DSPs?
Yes. The catalog manifest API accepts a pre-delivery query — paste an ISRC and UPC and we return whether it collides with any existing release in your distributor account or across the public DSP graph we monitor. This is how distributors catch self-conflicts (two clients delivering the same recording) and known-bad uploader replays before they ever hit Spotify or Apple Music.
How are counter-notice deadlines tracked?
Every filed takedown writes a deadline-tracked record to the workspace. When a DSP acknowledges receipt, the 10–14 business-day counter-notice window starts a countdown that appears in the ops inbox. The workspace owner and the catalog manager both get notified at T-72 hours, T-24 hours, and T-0 — so no §512(g) response window closes on a missed inbox.
Can we export monthly enforcement reports per client?
Yes. The Growth and Pro plans both expose a per-workspace PDF export covering findings actioned, takedowns filed, acknowledgements received, counter-notices handled, and the hash-chained audit log for the period. Pro adds raw JSON export of the audit log itself for ingestion into your existing compliance reporting stack.
Which plan should a mid-tier distributor pick?
Most mid-tier distributors with 5,000–25,000 releases start on Growth at $199 a month — that covers up to 5,000 tracks per workspace, 5 seats, scans every 60 minutes, the REST API, and webhooks. Distributors above 25,000 releases or running 50+ client sub-workspaces should start on Pro at $499 a month for unlimited tracks, unlimited seats, SSO, and audit-log export.
