I run a small website which is dedicated to music streaming. We recently received a complaint from copyright owners asking us to take down some of the copyrighted music we have been streaming on our website. Is there any way that I can still keep these songs on our website without violating copyright laws?

Yes. There are certain online services such as a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe harbor which you may be able to take advantage of. It is an immunity against copyright infringement liability that applies to specific internet services which can receive a notification from the copyright owner and terminate access or block access to allegedly infringing material upon receipt of an effective notification by the copyright owner. Additionally, depending on how large your website is you may be eligible to obtain performance rights for the music that has been identified as potentially being violative of these rights.

Yes, you can keep the copyrighted music on your website if you obtain a license from the rights owners. You may also want to consider using audio fingerprinting technology to ensure that only licensed content is streamed.
