Billboard: The MLC Partners With Beatdapp to Fight Streaming Fraud

Written by The MLC | 08.06.24

The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) has partnered with Beatdapp, an independent fraud detection company, to prevent streaming fraud.

The company has worked for a number of record labels, collection societies, distributors and streaming services to help them sift through trillions of lines of data and identify and investigate suspicious patterns.

Other clients include SoundCloud, Beatport, 7digital and more.
