Beatdapp and 7digital, a Songtradr Company, Partner to Enhance Music Streaming Integrity by Combating Industry’s ‘Billion Dollar’ Fraud Problem | Business


VANCOUVER, British Columbia & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 15, 2024–

Beatdapp, the leading fraud detection company in the music industry, and 7digital, a Songtradr company, the leader in B2B end-to-end digital music solutions, are excited to announce a strategic partnership aimed at integrating Beatdapp’s state-of-the-art fraud detection technologies into the 7digital music ecosystem. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the fight against streaming fraud, enhancing transparency and accountability in digital music consumption and protecting the rights of legitimate musicians and artists.

Shockingly, research shows that up to 10% of all streams are fraud across global platforms. When considering that every point of market share is worth about $200 million USD, even a conservative 5% fraud rate makes the industry’s ‘billion dollar problem’ apparent, and all the more vital to combat. 1

Through this partnership, 7digital will incorporate Beatdapp’s fraud detection service into its existing suite of music distribution and streaming benefits. For 7digital and Songtradr clients, leveraging this benefit means gaining access to a leading team of experts with a cross-platform, cross-vertical view of fraud, armed with an array of models operating at the track, artist, user and device level, to detect fraud, bots and stolen user accounts with accuracy and confidence.

The partnership positions Beatdapp, 7digital and Songtradr as industry leaders in this space, offering clients unparalleled access to the tools needed to protect the rights holders at every level.

“Partnering with 7digital aligns with our mission to restore trust in digital music streaming by tackling fraud head-on,” said Morgan Hayduk and Andrew Batey, Co-CEOs of Beatdapp. “Our technology not only detects anomalies in streaming data but also ensures the integrity of the data from which artists and rights holders are compensated. This collaboration is a pivotal moment for the industry, as we bring transparency to billions of digital transactions worldwide.”

James Priestley, Chief Commercial Officer of 7digital, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Providing Beatdapp’s fraud detection service to our clients represents another transformative advancement for 7digital. By enhancing our technology stack with Beatdapp’s innovative solutions, we are poised to deliver even greater value to our clients and further cement our commitment to a fair and transparent digital music ecosystem.”

The integration promises to fortify the foundations of digital music, making the industry more secure, transparent and equitable for all parties involved.
