# Why was my release rejected?

> A rejected release won't be distributed.

A rejected release won't be distributed. Open the release to read our reason in the **Rejected** box. Problems that can be fixed, such as artwork or titles, are usually sent back as **Revision requested** instead.

## Find the reason

1. Open **Releases** and click the release marked **Rejected**.
2. Read the **Rejected** box at the top of the page. It shows the date it was reviewed and the reason.

We also email you when a release is rejected.

## Reasons we reject releases

These are the reasons in our distribution policy:

* **AI-generated music or AI personas.** We don't distribute music that is generated by AI or released under an AI artist identity.
* **Uncleared samples.** Samples are fine, but every sample must be cleared. Heavy sample use can also be a reason.
* **Rights you don't hold.** For example, a cover or remix released without permission, or someone else's recording.
* **Music that isn't a fit** for AMM Distro.

We can also stop accepting releases from an account for these same reasons.

## Rejected or revision requested?

| Status | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Revision requested** | Something needs fixing, such as artwork, titles or credits. Fix it and resubmit. See [Your release needs changes](https://help.ammdistro.com/release-status-and-review/your-release-needs-changes.md). |
| **Rejected** | We won't distribute this release. It can't be edited or resubmitted. |

## What you can do

* **Ask us about it.** If you have questions about the decision, send us a message from the chat on this page, or email [team@ammdistro.com](mailto:team@ammdistro.com). Your manager can explain it.
* **Delete the release.** Rejected releases can be deleted. Open it and click **Delete** at the top of the page. This can't be undone.

If the problem was something you can fix, such as clearing a sample, talk to us before creating the release again.

## Common questions

### Can I resubmit a rejected release?

No. A rejected release can't be edited. Talk to us first, and if the issue can be resolved, we'll tell you how to proceed.

### My release was disabled for a copyright claim.

If a release is disabled pending a copyright review, you can respond to the claim from the claims page in AMM Distro. While an account is frozen for a claim, you can still view and respond to claims.
