Beatdapp to enhance The MLC’s existing streaming fraud detection processes.

NASHVILLE, TN - The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) announces a collaboration with Beatdapp, an independent fraud detection company, to complement and enhance The MLC’s existing streaming fraud detection capabilities.

The services offered by Beatdapp will supplement The MLC's existing internal processes. This collaboration reflects The MLC's commitment to protecting its Members and supports The MLC’s mission of ensuring songwriters, composers, lyricists and music publishers receive their mechanical royalties from streaming and download services in the U.S. accurately and on time.

“The MLC is uniquely positioned within the music industry to contribute significantly to addressing streaming fraud,” says Andrew Mitchell, Chief Analytics and Automation Officer at The MLC. “Building on our ongoing efforts, we are proud to be working with Beatdapp to further amplify the many ways The MLC serves its 43,000+ Members.”

“The MLC plays a vital role in the music industry and we're proud to collaborate with them and enhance their continuous efforts to combat streaming fraud,” says Morgan Hayduk and Andrew Batey, Co-CEOs at Beatdapp. “Beatdapp has built its technology by learning from the best trust and safety solutions serving other online verticals and tailoring our technology to the unique attributes of music, to provide an unbiased, independent fraud detection solution capable of grappling with the persistent and ever-changing nature of fraud.”

To date, The MLC has achieved total royalties distributed of more than $2 billion since the first royalty distribution in April 2021.
