Tired of bot channels scraping your audios? I'm an IT engineer building a free reverse-search tracker and need your feedback.
Hey everyone,
I'm an IT engineer and a former RP writer. I've been watching the massive spike in bot channels scraping VAs' audios, pitching them up, slapping an AI thumbnail on them, and re-uploading them to YouTube and TikTok for ad revenue.
It’s incredibly frustrating that creators have to rely on their fans happening to stumble across a stolen video to know their IP was scraped.
I'm currently prototyping a free Audio Reverse-Search Monitor specifically for the ASMR/Audio RP community to automate this.
Here is how it would work:
You upload a 10-second snippet of your unique audio (or connect your RSS feed).
The tool uses basic acoustic fingerprinting to scan YouTube and TikTok once a week for matches.
If it finds an unauthorized match, it alerts you and generates a pre-filled DMCA takedown template.
Before I spend my weekend writing the backend code for this, I need to know if this actually solves the problem the way you need it solved.
Questions for VAs and Writers:
Where are you seeing the most stolen audio right now? (YouTube, TikTok, Spotify?)
Would you be comfortable uploading a 10-second snippet to a free web app to generate the "fingerprint," or would you prefer to just drop in your YouTube links?
What is the most painful part of issuing a DMCA right now?
Let me know if this would actually save you time, or if I'm overcomplicating it. Tysm!
