How DIGR Works
The no-bullshit guide to the underground music platform.
🎵 The Creative Ecosystem
We built DIGR so creators own their shit.
Upload your tracks. Set your price. Keep 100% of it. Or make it free — your call. DIGR is your storefront, your stage, your vault.
Free Content
Want to share your work with the world? Drop it as free. Anyone can listen, discover, and vibe with it. Free tracks build your audience.
Paid Content
Set a price and sell directly to fans. When someone buys your track, they get a high-quality download. The money goes to you. All of it. (Buyers pay a small service fee — more on that below.)
The Creator Pipeline
Here's where it gets interesting. Creators can upload stems — the raw building blocks of their tracks. Other creators can buy those stems and build something new. It's a creative supply chain: your kick drum becomes someone else's banger.
Original creators get credited. New work gets made. Everyone eats.
📋 Content Rules
Simple version: upload your own work.
- Original content you created — always good
- Content you have a license for — cool, just make sure the license covers distribution
- Remixes with proper clearance — go for it
- Collaborations — make sure all collaborators are on board
Don't upload: Stolen beats. Ripped tracks. Samples you don't have rights to. Other people's music with your name on it. We will find out, and it won't end well.
🔗 How Attribution Works
When you build on someone else's stems or samples, credit them. DIGR tracks the chain.
- Buy stems from a creator → use them in your track → the original creator is linked
- Create a derivative work → tag the source material
- Attribution is visible on the track page — it's a badge of honor, not a burden
Think of it like liner notes, but automatic. The creative lineage of every track is transparent. Give credit. Get credit.
🚩 How to Report Content
See something that shouldn't be here? Hit the report button on any track.
- Click the report button on the track or profile
- Tell us what's wrong — stolen content, copyright issue, whatever
- Our team reviews it (real humans, not bots)
- If the content violates our rules, it comes down. If it doesn't, it stays up.
We take every report seriously. False reports waste everyone's time — don't be that person.
⚖️ The DMCA Process
If your copyrighted work ends up on DIGR without your permission, here's exactly what happens:
- You send a takedown notice — Tell us what's yours, where it is on DIGR, and confirm you're the rights holder (or authorized to act for them). Must include your signature.
- We review it — We check that the notice is legit and complete. No rubber stamps, no auto-removals.
- Content comes down — If the notice checks out, we remove the content and notify the uploader. They get a strike.
- Counter-notice option — The uploader can file a counter-notice if they believe it's a mistake. If they do, the content may go back up unless you file a court action within 10-14 business days.
Where to send DMCA notices: See our
formal DMCA policy for the full details and submission process.
💀 Three-Strike Policy
Steal someone's work? Three strikes and you're gone.
- Strike 1 — Content removed. You get a warning. Learn from it.
- Strike 2 — Content removed. Final warning. We're serious.
- Strike 3 — Account permanently terminated. Your content is wiped. No appeals. No exceptions. No "I didn't know."
Strikes come from valid DMCA takedown notices — not random reports. If you successfully counter-notice, the strike is removed.
Permanent termination means permanent. Don't test it.
💰 Pricing
Creators keep 100% of their sales. Always.
We don't take a cut of your music money. Instead, buyers pay a service fee on top of the creator's price.
Free Tier
30% fee
Buyer pays 30% service fee on purchases. Creator still gets 100%.
Pro / Studio
0% fee
No service fee. Buyers pay exactly the listed price. Creator still gets 100%.
Example: You sell a track for $10.
- Free tier buyer pays $13.00 → you get $10.00
- Pro/Studio buyer pays $10.00 → you get $10.00
Your price is your price. The fee is on the buyer, never the creator.
