Kyle MacLachlan has paid tribute to David Lynch.

“Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision,” MacLachlan wrote.

Artists and labels battling with fake uploads landing on your profiles! Here’s my solution to finding out which distribution company has been used to upload the content, in order to get that content removed EVERYWHERE at once. I’ll use my latest release as an example to make it easier to present.

Let’s pretend that my latest track “Yellow” would need to be removed. Here’s how:

1. Make a free account on https://t.co/7ulL6uEXrc

2. Find your artist profile

3. Go to “Tracks & Albums” and check the ISRC code of a song that doesn’t belong to you. We’ll choose “Yellow” from the list. (This one’s my actual release, but for example’s sake - ISRC: QZNWY2474646) (ISRC is an international standard code for uniquely identifying sound recordings and music video recordings, like an EAN barcode on a product).

4. Check the first two letters of the song’s ISRC code - this is called the “Country Code”, and it tells you in which country the distribution company has been registered. In this example it is “QZ”. All country codes are listed here: https://t.co/QAkj8NbeJv - “QZ” refers to the United States.

5. Check the next three digits of the ISRC code after the country code: “NWY”, this is called the “Registrant Code”, and together with the country code provides a unique reference to identify the distributor.

6. In the same PDF above you can find the ISRC Agency of each country. ISRC Agencies are the only organisations who can tell you which distributor has been used, using the country and registrant codes. (I wish there was a public database of distributors by country and registrant codes, but there isn’t). In this example the ISRC Agency we want to contact is the “Recording Industry Association of America” or “RIAA”. Here you can find all the contact details of every available ISRC Agency around the world: https://t.co/FlLbtIGre4

7. So, we look up “North America”, “United States”, and find the contact details for “RIAA” (email: [email protected]).

8. Write a professional email explaining the situation, and ask which distributor is behind the country and registrant codes “QZ-NWE” in the United States.

9. In this example they’ll come back and say it’s “Distrokid” (because I use Distrokid for my self-releases).

10. Now google the contact details of that distributor, and email/call them up, and professionally and politely explain the situation, and that the release would need to be taken down from all platforms at once.

And then you’re done!

It helps to provide other meaningful proof/insights, like the writer credits and metadata from the fake upload not matching with your existing releases or affiliate record labels. The copyright is misspelled, or the composer credits reveal a different name etc.

This is a tedious process, but it can be done! Filing out Spotify and Apple Music content mismatch forms is a good first-aid to get those fake releases out of sight asap, but it won’t remove the root of the problem. The only way to get those uploads removed EVERYWHERE, is to get in touch with the distribution company and have them remove the release manually.

This spring it cost me three weeks to figure all of this out, and to finally have the fake releases removed. It cost me around a hundred working hours and a few thousand unfollows in the process across multiple streaming platforms.

I’m pretty fed up with how easy it is to impersonate an artist in order to leech on their established fanbases, and get any unvetted content displayed on their profiles without their consent. I’m sure you can’t land a song on Drake’s or Rihanna’s profiles (no offense to them), so why not have a solution for everyone?

For first aid, here are links to the Spotify and Apple Music content mismatch forms that you can fill before you start the process of finding out and contacting the correct distributors for take-downs:

Hopefully you’ll find this useful.

Happy to help if you have any questions.

Peace.

I hope something is done to block all AI generated music from the streamers.

[Kupla @kuplasound]

The past 3 weeks, we've removed 4 AI-generated albums that have landed on my streaming profiles. So if you see something off, and hear something off, then something is off and it's not me. But I'm curious how is the music industry going to tackle this?

[bluefish lofi @bluefishlofi]

Something is cooking up.
