Do your own due diligence on beats bought

Just be careful if you're buying beats from them as there is no guarantee the beats will be legally obtained or free of copyright. In fact, it's already established that many beats they sell will contain unlicenced and 'stolen' beats from uncleared sources, as they don't check any beats for originality and, as it turns out, don't agree to cover any such losses where unlicenced beats have been sold. Which is fine as long as your music isn't going to make any money. The moment it does, however, there's a good chance that publishers will come out of the woodwork asking for their cut from a beat you never knew belonged to them. This has been highlighted in the case of independent artist Ren's 'Sickboi' which he has had to take down due to a third party coming out of the woodwork to claim on a beat he legally purchased from BeatStars, and which has cost him a substantial amount of money. All fans of Ren have now lost this track if they bought a streamed album or single containing the track, unless they downloaded it. Although not having bought a track from BeatStars (and probably won't now) I, and all fans, have a personal loss from the loss of this track which is largely due to the fact that artists can legally buy beats from this platform and yet still have no certainty over what they have bought. There are many factors in this case, but Beatstars, as the intermediary between the person selling the beat and the person buying the beat, surely need to take more responsibility or penalise offenders selling 'stolen' beats much harsher than they do at present. Otherwise, what is the point of using them if, when you are lucky to have a track that makes any money, you get shafted by the system. So, for all artists buying beats and hoping to make money from their music, get yourself some legal agreement from BeatStars or the producer of the beat to ensure you don't get shafted later.

Response from BeatStars· Sep 9, 2024

Hey David, We understand your concerns, and they are certainly valid, especially when it comes to the legal implications of purchasing beats. It’s important to remember that BeatStars serves as a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers, and while we do provide a platform, we do not control the content that individual users upload. The responsibility for ensuring that beats are original and properly licensed falls on the creators themselves. That said, we strongly encourage all buyers to thoroughly review the licensing agreements and seek legal advice if needed to protect their work. If you come across any suspicious or potentially infringing content, please report it to our support team so we can investigate and take appropriate action or use our DMCA process for such content. Your feedback highlights the need for greater vigilance, and we’ll certainly consider this as we work to improve the platform.
