DistroKid has been quietly taking down songs in response to UMG lawsuit

DistroKid has been removing songs from its platform in response to a lawsuit from Universal Music Group (UMG), the company has confirmed. The takedowns are reportedly a direct result of UMG's claim that DistroKid has created an 'AI-slop pipeline' for its clients. Artists are complaining on social media that their work has been removed without notice.
