The upload tool was the subject of a complaint to the [[BBC Trust]] from a commercial organisation ''Amazing Tunes'' that had launched a similar service in 2005. ''Amazing Tunes'' provides the musical content for a UK national digital radio station, ''[[Amazing Radio]]''.

The BBC disputed this description, but advised artists to "explore all the avenues open to them."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/nov/09/amazing-radio-bbc|title=Amazing Radio complains about BBC service 'copying our concept'|date=2009-11-09|accessdate=2009-11-25|publisher=The Guardian | location=London | first=Mark | last=Sweney| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20091112093223/http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/nov/09/amazing-radio-bbc| archivedate= 12 November 2009 <!--DASHBot-->| deadurl= no}}</ref>
