Chordie AI and Deplike utilize advanced algorithms to automatically extract chord progressions from musical recordings. Unlike lyrics or melodies, chord progressions are generally not considered sufficiently original or distinctive to qualify for copyright protection on their own. In fact, many chord sequences are widely used across numerous popular songs in identical or highly similar forms.

Nonetheless, rights holders who prefer that the chords of their works not be displayed by Chordie AI and Deplike may request the removal of specific songs by contacting hello@deplike.com. To facilitate the process, they are encouraged to include the YouTube ID of the relevant song in their request.
