The New Music Business with Ari Herstand
Exploring the Dark Side of Streaming Fraud
Streaming fraud has become a significant issue as individuals and organizations find ways to manipulate streaming platforms for financial gain. Fraudsters can divert streams to increase revenue, sometimes even tricking unsuspecting users into unwittingly listening to songs through hacked profiles. Various methods, such as using bots and stream farms, have emerged to exploit these systems. Streaming services like Spotify are actively monitoring accounts for artificial streams and have begun penalizing distributors that engage in fraudulent practices. Many so-called legitimate services promise guaranteed streams, which should always be treated with caution, as this often indicates a scam. Even genuinely affected artists may find themselves benefiting from artificial streams without their consent, revealing the complex challenges within the music distribution landscape. The prevalence of scams and manipulation tactics highlights the need for due diligence and awareness among musicians and consumers alike.
