Legal infrastructure, built for independent music.
Major labels have established legal infrastructure to help protect and enforce their music rights. Independent artists and music rights holders deserve access to legal infrastructure too. GeeseTrace Intake helps close that gap — a more accessible way to document potential legal issues, understand available pathways, and begin the process of seeking legal support.
The Copyright Claims Board was built for creators like you.
The CCB is a small-claims-style tribunal inside the U.S. Copyright Office — with damages up to $30,000, filing fees of just $100, and a paper-based process. It was created to give independent creators real recourse. Yet it remains dramatically underused in the music industry. We think that needs to change.
