Distrokid fraudulently advertises music distribution and royalty collection services to independent musicians that they do not fulfill upon. Their music distribution implementations are full of errors. Music is not present on many stores that they claim to distribute to. Music is frequently not discoverable in stores (shadow-banned), and is noted, but not playable on many stores.
After over 250,000 streams of my content, Distrokid has only reported/collected about ten dollars of royalties; most streams without Distrokid paying any royalties at all. Distrokid also violates copyright, not removing content from specific stores in a timely fashion, after specifically denying DK the rights to distribute to said stores (YouTube), directly violating DMCA laws. Every attempt I have made to work directly with Distrokid to resolve extensive issues has resulted in delays, obfuscation, CYA messages, lack of timely escalation of legal issues, and so much more.
While Distrokid promises to help indie musicians gain exposure, and be present in streaming services, they fail to demonstrate any authentic interest in helping indie musicians at all; rather PREVENTING their potential success through improper implementations, disadvantageous agreements with streaming services, with wasted time in locating and resolving countless livet site errors, in the violation of artist copyrights, and by not paying any semblance of fair royalties to artists. Then they charge the artists for the services that they fail to deliver.
