How do I report copyright infringement?

jroman0 — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 06:59:14 GMT

Anyone else getting like random songs that fade out like they were soundcloud excerpts? I got played a song by this artist (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0w23Czp6F9ysoi54hTtSyK?si=9F-gG7D1S1W1B_agkEf1sg) and something seemed off. Turns out the whole artist is just reverbed and slowed sub 2 minute versions of popular songs. Very soundcloud remix, very not what I pay Spotify for. I tried reporting the artist and there's not option for "this person is obviously a scammer flaunting copyright law." I've noticed these in my playlist at other times too, this was just the most egregious.

There are also many instances of artists putting the name of big artists at their releases so they appear as the music catalogue of the big artist. They are crediting them as "Main Artists" or "Featured", and Spotify is not making sure that all these releases are legit. And since we are not the "copyright holders" then we can not even notify to Spotify when this happens.

There's a song that's incorrectly labeled and being played under a different artist

Hi @KingEmino,

If you are an artist with content in Spotify, just go to https://artists.spotify.com/ to see if you can solve this issue.

Hope this helps!
