Fake artists!! I have found one who has a verified account??

Solved!

Fake artists!! I have found one who has a verified account??

I have found an artist just using popular songs, making his own versions, without even informing the original artists, and not even giving credits.. Most of these songs are just included with slight modifications, hence giving revenue to the fake artist!!

Farizki- https://open.spotify.com/artist/0q21wtMM1dK3rI2HzCYPui?si=zwX5OemxSQqDdMfCXl_V9g

more like hundreds of songs. Just speeding it up or slowing it down and adding reverb shouldn't give him rights to own the song, and this artist must be taken to court.
Songs from- David Guetta, Fujii Kaze, Sapient dream, Lil NasX
All these artist's famous songs, just spread out here with little to no modifications!!

Hi there @NimaiHithesh,

 

Thanks for letting us know. You can report errors with content as shown here, however when it comes to legal issues, these are outside of Spotify's direct influence and can only be settled by the legal owners of the music. There is a form here, where a legal claim can be filed, but neither us nor our users can file these claims on behalf of artists or labels, only the copyright owners can. The best option would be to try and reach out to the artists themselves to try and inform them about potentially infringing content, so that they can take appropriate measures.

 

Hope this clears things up.
