We help DSPs, music labels, distributors, and artists accurately track play counts for invoicing and royalty payments

It reduces the tracking discrepancies between Digital Service Providers (DSPs) and rights holders, increasing royalty revenue for rights holders while limiting legal exposure, expensive audit costs, and lawsuits for DSPs.

From bots to black markets—streaming fraud isn't just about inflating numbers. 👀 Our co-founder, Andrew Batey, recently exposed the shocking reality behind streaming fraud during his presentation at All That Matters Singapore: 💡 "80 percent of the fraud we catch is not from the music industry. This is not artists trying to juice their numbers. This isn't a label trying to make more money. These are professional scammers, financial scammers, organized crime, and terrorist groups.These people are using the music industry's huge pot of money to either launder or make money in schemes of their own, and it directly impacts all the other artists that are part of this system” With 36 trillion data points analyzed and 3 trillion streams reviewed this year alone, Beatdapp is uncovering an underground world where: ⚠️ Bot networks manipulate streams to steal billions ⚠️ Fraudsters hide among legitimate artists, making detection tricky ⚠️ Global crime syndicates use streaming for financial gain Want to know how we’re fighting back and protecting artists?

Scammers are siphoning billions from the music industry every year, and it's not just big stars who are losing out — 🔍 Streaming fraud impacts every artist, from indie musicians to chart-toppers, by diverting royalties that should be landing in their pockets. When Beatdapp detects and eliminates fraudulent streams, it helps make sure those stolen dollars are reallocated fairly. That could mean an extra $1,000 for an independent artist—or hundreds of millions for major labels. Streaming fraud isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a major threat to fair compensation in music.

💬 "Streaming fraud remains a major headache for the music industry. The practice threatens to suck money out of the streaming business that would have otherwise been paid to legitimate artists and rightsholders." As platforms like TikTok crack down on fraudulent activity, it’s clear the music industry needs more consolidation and precision in addressing the issue. The question isn’t whether streaming fraud exists—it's how we fight it. 🔍 Here’s how Beatdapp helps: Real-time fraud detection: We audit every single stream, identifying suspicious patterns and manipulated plays. Multi-platform monitoring: We provide a cross-platform verification of music streams, ensuring transparency across the board. Over a trillion streams analyzed: Our system processes billions of streams, using advanced machine learning to flag anomalies with over 99% accuracy. Restoring artist revenue: We help ensure that every stream generates the correct amount of royalties, preserving revenue for legitimate artists and stakeholders, while preventing clawbacks and persecution for distributors and labels. With fraud detection rates above as 40% on some platforms, the need for accountability is critical. Beatdapp's technology is here to preserve the integrity of streaming data—and keep the music industry fair for everyone. #MusicIndustry #StreamingFraud #Beatdapp #FraudDetection #MusicTech #ArtistRights #DigitalMusic https://lnkd.in/gxu4iygc

Did you know that your music could be unknowingly caught up in a streaming fraud scheme? 🎧 Fraudsters often use innocent, independent artists to hide their shady activities. That means your tracks could be involved in fraud, even if you're not the one causing it. But don’t worry—here are 3 simple steps you can take to protect yourself: 1️⃣ Fingerprint your songs: Before releasing demos publicly—especially on user-generated platforms—ensure your distributor digitally fingerprints your tracks first by uploading them. This creates a distinct timestamp, even if you haven’t set an official release date yet, establishing a track record of ownership can help protect your music from being stolen or falsely claimed by fraudsters. 2️⃣ Monitor suspicious spikes: If you see an unexpected surge of streams from playlists or regions you don’t recognize, email your distributor immediately. Keeping a record of these communications will prove you were proactive in stopping any suspicious activity, which can prevent your songs from being removed from the platform. 3️⃣ Work with trusted distributors: Partner with a reliable distributor that offers personal support. Having a direct contact can be invaluable if your music is ever flagged for fraud. At Beatdapp, we’re dedicated to protecting artists from fraud schemes that can damage their careers.
