This is Shield.
Anti-piracy inside Forward. It finds copies of your releases, sends the notices and checks they are gone.
Every release, watched.
Watched most closely in launch week, then on a steadier rhythm as the release matures.
A case built on evidence.
The captured page and the matched release stay with the case.
Found on its own.
It searches blogs, file hosts and forums, and keeps the page as proof.
Then the notice goes out.
Sent to the page and to the file host once the match is confirmed, automatically where it is switched on, or by hand.
Gone, and checked.
Shield confirms the file is gone, then checks again in case it returns.
Still watched after it is gone.
Removed copies are checked again, and copies that come back are taken down again.
Cross-platform performance.
Revenue, streams and downloads from every store, month by month.
One page.
Filter by label, artist, genre, release and store across any time range.
Loading the analytics
Who saves, who skips.
Saves by subscription tier, and plays that end before thirty seconds.
Every store. One number.
Every daily feed in one total, stores not shown here included. Drill down by label, artist, release or store.
Loading Daily Stats
Their music. Paid by each label.
Their releases, their analytics, their daily stats. And one wallet with each label that pays them through Forward, each with its own minimum.
Ask. The label approves.
Above the label's minimum, one request. The label checks it and confirms the payment in Forward.
Paid. And they know it.
The payment is recorded, that label's balance clears in their wallet, and Forward tells them.
Sent to the ears that fit.
Every recipient is scored against the sound of the release, from their own listening, before anything goes out.
It lands by sound.
In each DJ's pool, promos are ranked by what they sound like, then tempo and key. Not by a genre tag.
Listen. Rate. Support.
Five stars, a support decision, the favourite track and a comment. Then download what was sent.
Every answer, back on the release.
Ratings, support and comments from every recipient, next to opens, plays and downloads.
Every demo. One inbox.
A demo inbox that reads origin, momentum on each platform and sound against your catalog, for each submission as it arrives.
Checked for origin by authio.
Signal runs authio technology at its forensic level on every demo. Only Human clears; Hybrid and AI wait for a person. A rule-based brief says what is known, with no score. Shown here: an illustrative Hybrid case.
Next to what your releases actually earned.
Each demo sits beside the label's closest recordings, with the royalties each one settled in its first four months on sale.
A person decides.
No automatic decisions. Accept, and the artist is invited to continue with the label. Nothing is signed.
Your platform. Your name.
A separate platform for distribution companies. Configure the brand, navigation and workspace under your own name.
Your navigation.
Sidebar, top bar or command rail. Pick one and every screen follows.
Drag your dashboard into shape.
Add a block from the library, set its width, drag it into place. Every row stays full.
Run only what you sell.
Turn a product off and it leaves the platform.
Every distributor, its own platform.
Halden, Ostra and Northline, three illustrative distributors, run the same LabelLedger, each with its own name, colour and navigation.
