Beat discovery works best when the rights, proof, and producer standards are clear. BeatPass connects those parts so you can understand what you licensed, what the producer keeps, and where to find proof when someone asks for it.

Licensed downloads

An eligible paid-plan download creates a standard non-exclusive license for one original musical work. The license covers the release and monetisation of that finished song on streaming and digital platforms, subject to its terms and restrictions. Read the non-exclusive license terms before you release.

License certificates

Each qualifying download creates a license certificate tied to the downloader’s BeatPass account. The certificate records the license identity, track details, applicable terms, licensed-user verification, fingerprint details when available, and a public verification link. A payment receipt shows that a transaction happened. A certificate is the record designed to show what was licensed. See License Certificates for the details.

Public verification

Anyone with a certificate’s verification link can check whether the certificate exists in BeatPass records and see its current status without logging in. The verification page uses masked licensee information so it can support a rights review without exposing an account’s full email address. Learn how to use public license verification when a distributor, label, platform, or collaborator asks for proof.

BeatPassID fingerprint details

BeatPass ID combines available fingerprint data with the track’s licensing model, Sample-Safe declaration, AI-use disclosure when available, and promised exclusive deliverables. This helps connect a license record to the audio and terms it covers; it does not create rights the producer did not own. See BeatPassID fingerprint details.

Producer ownership and responsibilities

Producers keep ownership of their beats. They authorise BeatPass to host, license, issue certificates for, verify, moderate, and support eligible beats under the platform terms. That ownership also comes with responsibilities around rights, samples, AI use, metadata, and proof. Review the Producer Upload and Seller Agreement.

Transparent contribution formula

BeatPass uses contribution-based subscription revenue, not a fixed pay-per-play rate. Recency, play activity, and credited producer count determine each eligible track’s contribution value, which is used to calculate subscription payout share. The contribution formula shows exactly what affects that value.

Human-made catalog standards

BeatPass is for human-made beats. AI can support a producer’s workflow or supply properly licensed source material, but it cannot replace the producer’s meaningful creative role in the final beat. Read the human-made beat policy before uploading or licensing AI-assisted work.

Reference-guided discovery

Beat Requests let artists describe a direction with a brief and reference track, then receive submissions from BeatPass producers. A reference helps explain mood, tempo, arrangement, and fit; it does not authorise copying protected musical elements or replace licensing an available original beat. Learn how Beat Requests work.

What this means

For artists

You have a clearer path from discovery to release, with a certificate and public verification available if a distributor, platform, label, or collaborator asks for proof.

For producers

Your catalog stays connected to your producer identity, licensing settings, ownership responsibilities, contribution mechanics, and proof workflows.

Important limits

A certificate documents the license BeatPass issued. It does not promise that no third-party rights issue, producer-side breach, AI-origin dispute, or platform review can ever arise. BeatPass cannot grant rights a producer did not own or control.
  • A standard non-exclusive license does not allow Content ID registration for the beat.
  • Multiple artists may lawfully use the same non-exclusive beat, with a separate certificate for each eligible download.
  • Fully AI-generated beats are not permitted on BeatPass.
  • Audio Recon helps producers investigate high-similarity matches; it is not a finding of infringement or permission to copy a sound.
