⚙️ Why Is This Definition Important?
This broad definition ensures that:
✅ Every component needed for proper distribution, promotion, and protection of your content is covered
✅ UMW can effectively manage not only the audio, but also the artwork, metadata, and legal rights associated with your release
✅ Your content is professionally prepared and ready for all major DSPs (Digital Service Providers)
📌 Important to Note:
All uploaded files must be original, high-quality, and compliant with UMW and DSP technical/legal standards
By uploading, the user declares ownership or authorization to use and distribute the content
All files become part of the user’s active catalog within the UMW ecosystem
