Dauntless Artist’s Defender
Detecting unpaid rights. Restoring artistic value. Defending creators worldwide.
D.A.D. is a legal-tech initiative created to protect artists, authors, performers, producers and rights holders from one of the most silent forms of deprivation in the modern music industry: rights and revenues that are generated, collected or exploited — but never properly paid.
In an ecosystem driven by platforms, algorithms, metadata, collective management organisations and artificial intelligence, creators need more than representation.
They need detection.
They need evidence.
They need enforcement.
They need D.A.D.
We identify what the system fails to pay.
Every year, significant amounts of music royalties remain unpaid, misallocated, unidentified, blocked or absorbed by opaque systems.
D.A.D. was created to locate these missing rights and transform invisible losses into documented claims.
Our mission is clear:
to detect, analyse and recover unpaid or misallocated rights for artists and rights holders through law, technology and data intelligence.
D.A.D. investigates where rights disappear, why revenues are not distributed, and how they can be reclaimed.
The music industry has never generated so much data. Yet artists have never had so little visibility.
Today, music is exploited across thousands of platforms, territories, databases and reporting systems.
But the information is fragmented.
The metadata is often incomplete.
The money is collected before the rightful beneficiary is identified.
And when no one claims it in time, the artist may lose it forever.
D.A.D. challenges this structural opacity.
Because complexity must never become an excuse for non-payment.
Technology should defend artists — not deprive them.
Artificial intelligence, streaming platforms and algorithmic systems are transforming the music industry.
But innovation cannot justify opacity.
Scale cannot justify non-payment.
Data cannot replace rights.
Artists should know where their works are used.
They should know who collects money in their name.
They should know why revenues are not paid.
And they should have the tools to reclaim what belongs to them.
D.A.D. believes that the future of music must be built on transparency, accountability and fair remuneration.
Law. Data. Evidence. Recovery.
Legal analysis
to determine the rights, obligations and liability of each party.
Data investigation
to cross-check repertoire information, CMO files, DSP reports, ISRCs, ISWCs, cue sheets and public databases.
Artificial intelligence
to identify patterns, inconsistencies, missing matches and hidden exploitation.
Strategic enforcement
to transform findings into claims, corrections, negotiations or legal action.
D.A.D. is not only a platform. It is a defence system for creators.
D.A.D. stands for a new standard in music rights protection. Unpaid rights are no longer ignored. Metadata errors are no longer accepted as inevitable. Whether you are an artist, author, performer, producer, manager, publisher, catalogue owner or heir, D.A.D. can help you identify hidden losses and recover unpaid value.
