Kick's Community Guidelines have no music section, but users must comply with copyright law, and Kick acts on DMCA notices, including suspending or terminating repeat infringers.
| What it is | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
| DMCA notice | Signed notice from a rights holder | Content removed, account disabled or terminated |
| Counter notice | Signed reply from the user | Route to restore removed content |
| Repeat infringer | Several valid notices | Suspension or termination |
Guideline 10 (Lawfulness) requires compliance with laws, including copyright and intellectual property, and serious or repeated offenses can lead to suspension or removal. Users warrant that their content does not infringe third party rights, and music is listed as a type of user content.
No music specific rules or music library were found on Kick's official pages, and Kick runs no automatic Content ID style matching.
A DMCA notice must identify the work and the infringing URL, give contact details, include good faith and accuracy statements under penalty of perjury, and be signed. On a valid notice Kick may remove the content or disable or terminate the account.
A counter notice must give the removed URLs, the claimant's name, the Kick channel name, the user's legal name and contact details, and a signed consent to US federal court jurisdiction.
Kick suspends or terminates repeat infringers, and may act on blatant infringement without a repeat history. How Kick treats notices for VODs and clips is not described, and its policies are brief and can change.
With no allowlist system, documentation is the safeguard. Keep the license or proof of ownership and, if content is removed, file a counter notice with the required elements.
Dr.DIO does not register its music in YouTube Content ID. The Creator plan ($9.99 a month) gives 100 tracks a month, a license number for YouTube and the Dr.DIO radio as a stream background; the Free plan gives 10 tracks a month with the credit line "Music: Dr.DIO · track title · drdio.studio".
On Kick keep your Dr.DIO license number; it is what you would rely on in a counter notice.
This page explains the general rules as published by the societies and laws listed above, checked in October 2026. It is not legal advice; fees and rules change, so confirm with the society before you decide.
Kick has no music specific rules; it requires copyright compliance and acts on DMCA notices.
Only music you have the rights to use; users warrant that their content does not infringe.
Send the removed URLs, the claimant's name, your channel name, legal name, contact details and a signed consent to US federal court jurisdiction.
Kick suspends or terminates repeat infringers after valid DMCA notices, and may act on blatant infringement at once.
Use music you own or have licensed for streaming, and keep the license as proof.
