Never, ever, ever, ever, ever upload retitled tracks to That Pitch. We have systems in place to catch matching audio, and your account may be banned if you are trying to retitle work(s).

If distributed non-exclusively, it's never retitled.

If distributed exclusively, it can be retitled by the music library that acquires the track. But as they acquired your original work(s), they have the right to do as they deem fit within their platform. They are not making another track with it and trying to screw you over. They are simply renaming the audio file you sent in to match their brand.

Here's the most common reason why: you may have a dope ambient track that sonically matches 4 other tracks and they want to put out an EP through a virtual artist project for the library platform. The artist is named "Peace & Harmony Sounds". They bundle them all together, and brand them as 1 artist. It's an ambient record where the 4 tracks they have are titled "Feelings", "Water", "Innocence", and "Purity" - and you uploaded a song (no fuggin lie) called "hella sexi feelin fine as hell in detroit baby!!!" well, your sexi title is getting booted, my dawg.

I hope that's understandable. And yes, this was a real world example.

Here's the deal. You're still paid in full regardless. Since the agreement you signed included the audio itself, you are not able to retitle and upload again. Plz don't try. Retitling is this dumb thing where people think they can get away with double dipping exclusivity. It worked back in the day - before technology caught up. And boy oh boy is the technology caught up. So yeah - don't retitle. Technically, it will be considered a copyright infringement against an exclusive agreement.
