The Growing Challenge of Copyright Infringement on Spotify

Spotify has become one of the largest platforms for streaming and discovering music, offering independent artists and labels a global audience. Yet, with such accessibility comes a dark side, copyright infringement through reuploads.

Every day, unauthorized accounts reupload existing tracks under fake artist names or different metadata. These infringers often monetize stolen content, drawing streams and revenue that rightfully belong to the original creators. Beyond financial loss, these violations can distort listener data, damage brand reputation, and erode the trust artists work so hard to build.

What Reuploads Look Like

Reuploads are not always easy to spot. They can appear as:

• Duplicate releases under a different distributor or name
• Altered metadata (slightly changed track or artist names)
• Unauthorized compilations featuring copyrighted songs
• Remixes or edits uploaded without the original creator’s consent

Even with Spotify’s content ID and reporting tools, catching these infringements manually can be time-consuming and frustrating for creators.

Why Copyright Vigilance Matters

Music piracy has evolved from illegal downloads to disguised reuploads. In today’s streaming economy, where algorithms drive exposure and income, one unauthorized copy can divert thousands of plays. For independent creators and record labels alike, active copyright enforcement isn’t optional, it’s essential.

By combining human expertise and platform partnerships, Pellonia ensures creators get the recognition and royalties they deserve.
