Copyrights Infringement Of My Personally Curated Playlist

Amitnandan_Suresh16 — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:42:55 GMT

I have curated a public playlist for myself with the name "English Tops Hits Of All Time" which gained sudden popularity and now has over 200,000 likes. Many artists wanted me to add their songs in the playlist, but due to personal reasons, I refused to do so. Now, they have false reported my playlist which has caused the title and cover art to be removed. I faced the same issue during April 2022 which was later resolved. I want this issue to be resolved immediately and I am also very eager to know about how to protect my playlist from getting falsely reported in the future as many of my followers are upset about this frequent problem.
To add to this few users have copied my playlist entirely by which I mean the title, cover art, content and description too. I want these fake playlists to be taken down immediately as it is an act of copyright infringement.
I want these two, very important problems to be looked into seriously and therefore be resolved as soon as possible.

Hi,

To report content on Spotify, open the context menu on the playlist you wish to report, and click report. You can then report the playlist as dangerous, deceptive, or sensitive images, visuals, playlists (image, description, or title), or other descriptive text, or you can send a copyright claim using the link at the top-middle of the report page.

Good luck!

I would be glad to here from you about the false reporting problem too.
Thank You.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about the false reporting. A Spotify Star or staff member would need to help you with that.

Good luck!

Dearie, Spotify don’t care. They have been ‘working on this’ for years. If you are JR, maybe they will care, but you bring them no revenue, so all you will get are these platitudes. Check out the other community pages and Reddit forums. They aren’t doing anything at all about it. Take it from someone who has been emailing them over and over. Some real solutions are offered on other chats. Which generally include a rebuild and getting off the platform completely.

Copyright infringement? I always thought all content, even my playlists are part of Spotify's content. Now and then i see someone who has copy pasted my playlist. So, i can report them now for doing that?

I don't know if i will do that. It's sometimes annoying to see someone else 'steal' my playlist idea. Otherwise it's nice to see people are inspired by my creations.

@Amitnandan_Suresh16 : i looked up your playlist on Spotify, but the title is removed. Is that because of the false reports?
