Streaming Fraud - A Global Problem

It has been estimated that across the music industry, streaming abuse could account for hundreds of millions of dollars lost each year. ¹ Streaming abuse, encompassing bots, streaming click farms, and imposters, impacts all artists - both self-released and those signed to labels. It affects the music industry by diluting the royalty pool, reducing revenue for legitimate streams, and slowing the approval and release process for creators.
