Real streams,
real royalties

Artificial streaming is fake or bot-generated plays designed to inflate streaming counts and royalties. It dilutes the royalty pool for honest artists and triggers DSP penalties, from withheld revenue to takedowns, for the catalogs it touches. Stamping it out protects both your earnings and your DSP relationships.

On three fronts. At submission, audio is fingerprinted and screened, and AI-generated music is flagged. After release, limbo/ monitors catalog activity for fraud signals such as spikes from a single IP, geo or device, around-the-clock streaming, abnormal stream-to-listener ratios, and functional sub-60-second or near-silent tracks. At onboarding, KYC keeps bad actors out.

Yes, through limbo/Agent Quality Control. In a moment when not everything that sounds like music is human, flagging generative-AI tracks is part of protecting the value of real, human music.
