🚨 Distributors Are Being Used as Pipelines for Fraud Fraudsters are getting smarter—and distributors are a prime target. By spreading fraudulent uploads across multiple distribution platforms, bad actors make it harder to detect and stop their schemes. They’re not relying on just one distributor; they’re using many to ensure there’s no single point of failure. The scale of the problem is staggering. ➡️ Over the past few months we’ve seen 50+ distributors on the platforms we monitor where more than 50% of their streams are fraudulent. ➡️ In some cases, it’s as high as 89%. ➡️ These fraudsters upload tracks, generate streams through bots, stolen accounts, and other methods, siphoning revenue away from artists, managers, and legitimate stakeholders. And this isn’t limited to small-scale players. Our work spans trillions of streams across many streaming services. The issue impacts the entire supply pipeline—artists, managers, distributors, and labels alike. 🎧 Why should distributors care? Fraud doesn’t just steal revenue. It can damage a distributor’s reputation, lead to clawbacks from DSPs, and even expose companies to legal and regulatory risks. Fraudulent streams undermine the trust distributors have worked hard to build with partners and artists alike. 💡 What’s the solution? Distributors need tools that provide visibility across platforms to detect fraud effectively and proactively. With the right solutions, fraud detection becomes a strength—not a liability. At Beatdapp, we’re here to help. Together, we can close these fraud pipelines and protect the industry’s future 🎵 Catch the full presentation here for more information: https://lnkd.in/ggXSRJ-f
