Fraud & Licensing

What happens if artificial streams are detected on my music?

Artificial streaming violates the terms of use and harms all honest artists, because it shrinks the pool for royalties.

Possible consequences: Your account can be permanently suspended, and your music can be removed from the stores.

Has your account been suspended? A suspension due to artificial streams is generally considered final. You'll find the details in the email correspondence about it. If you believe the suspension was unjustified, send us a ticket with your reasoning.

Will there be a warning beforehand? Usually, before a suspension, you'll be notified by email that artificial streams have been detected on your music. This gives you the chance to react in time.

You'll find tips on how to avoid artificial streams in the article "How to protect your music from artificial streams".
