Anti-fraud Policy
At SeemDistro, we are committed to maintaining a fair and transparent music distribution platform. Fraudulent activity, including artificial streaming and copyright violations, can result in serious consequences, including account termination and legal action. This page outlines our anti-fraud measures, how we detect fraud, and what actions we take against violators.
What is Considered Fraud?
Fraudulent activity includes, but is not limited to:
- Artificial Streaming:
- Using bots, click farms, or automated services to inflate streams.
- Paying for services that guarantee streams, playlist placements, or fan engagement in an unnatural way.
- Fake or Misleading Content:
- Uploading music that you do not own or have the right to distribute.
- Using misleading metadata (e.g., using artist names, song titles, or keywords deceptively).
- Copyright Infringement & Unauthorized Uploads:
- Uploading copyrighted material without proper licensing or permission.
- Distributing content that violates intellectual property laws.
- Payment Fraud:
- Using stolen or unauthorized payment methods to pay for services.
- Fraudulent chargebacks after using our services.
How We Detect Fraud
SeemDistro works closely with major streaming platforms and uses advanced fraud detection systems to identify suspicious activity. Our detection methods include:
- Automated Monitoring: Analyzing stream patterns for unnatural behavior.
- Manual Reviews: Investigating suspicious earnings spikes or irregular data.
- Platform Alerts: Partner platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) notify us of fraudulent activity.
- User Reports: Allowing artists and labels to report suspicious behavior.
Consequences of Fraudulent Activity
If fraudulent activity is detected, the following actions may be taken:
- First Violation: Warning and removal of fraudulent streams/earnings.
- Repeated Violations: Account suspension or permanent ban.
- Severe Cases: Legal action and reporting to law enforcement if necessary.
Fraudulent streams do not result in real earnings, and platforms may withhold or reclaim royalties associated with artificial plays.
How to Protect Your Account
- Promote Your Music Organically: Focus on genuine audience engagement.
- Avoid Buying Streams: Never use paid “streaming boost” services or fake playlists.
- Use Verified Promotion Services: Only work with trusted marketing companies.
- Ensure Proper Licensing: Secure rights before uploading covers, samples, or remixes.
