How it works

Three Riffwarden steps from match to paid royalty.

Crawl finds what is yours and unlicensed. Takedown stops the leak. Recover pulls the dollars back through PROs, DSPs and the MLC unmatched pool. Below: one block per step, in plain language.

Crawl
Find every unlicensed surface — including the channels Content ID never saw.

A swarm of monitoring agents watches the long tail continuously. Acoustic fingerprints catch pitch‑shifted, tempo‑nudged and lyric‑video reuploads that reference‑to‑reference systems miss; metadata fingerprints catch the rest. Streaming captures, podcast rips, broadcast logs and live VODs are all in scope.

  • YouTube full uploads, Shorts, embedded reuploads, fan translations
  • TikTok sound‑on‑sound uses, stitches, audio rip‑offs
  • Twitch VODs, clips, live restreams and raid broadcasts
  • Podcast feeds plus Patreon / supporter‑only bonus feeds
  • Terrestrial and internet‑only radio broadcast logs
02
Takedown
Automatic DMCA + Content ID — generated, filed and escalated.

Every confirmed match is mapped to the right intake for its platform. Takedown agents draft the filing in the format each platform accepts, attach proof of ownership, submit it, and follow up — including escalated disputes when a platform rejects the first pass. Each platform's response is logged against the original match.

  • DMCA filings auto‑generated and submitted to YouTube, Twitch, SoundCloud, podcast hosts
  • Content ID claims on the platforms that support it
  • Escalation flow for rejected claims and counter‑notices
  • Response log per platform, attached to the match row
  • Hour‑level triage from match detection to filing
03
Recover
PRO, DSP and unmatched‑mechanical recovery rolls into one dashboard.

Takedowns stop the leak; recovery pulls the royalties back. PRO agents file through ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN and the equivalent in your territory. DSP agents file with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and Pandora. The MLC agent files against the unmatched mechanical pool. Every filing is tracked to disbursement.

  • PRO filings: ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN and other regional societies
  • DSP filings: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Tidal, Pandora
  • MLC unmatched‑mechanical pool claims in the US
  • Status tracking from filing to disbursement
  • Recovered dollars roll into the same dashboard row as the original match
Pipeline

Three agents, one chain of custody.

Each step hands off cleanly to the next: a confirmed match carries the same ID from Crawl, through Takedown, into Recover — so the dollar that ends up in the dashboard ties back to the original detection.
