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[8] along with the publication of a white paper; The Music Anti-Piracy Best Practice Guidelines.[9] In a bid to extend understanding of music anti-piracy to the wider music community AudioLock have established an Ambassador program of unpaid music professionals and industry figures. Ambassadors include Drum n Bass DJ and producer Goldie,[10] entertainment lawyer and former Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules,[11] Berlin based electronic musician Emika,[12] Steve Miller aka Afterlife[13] and DJ, producer, founder of Hed Kandi and current owner of Fierce Angel Mark Doyle.[14]

AudioLock is a member of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM), the Association of Independent Music (AIM) and the Association For Electronic Music (AFEM). It is also partnered with numerous digital service providers, Trade association and distributors including; Traxsource,[15] Believe Digital,[16] Music Publishers' Association (MPA)[17] and !K7[18]
