DistroKid removes songs from streaming in response to UMG lawsuit

DistroKid has confirmed that a small number of recordings were removed from streaming in response to claims made by UMG, which sued the company in September over what it calls an "AI-slop pipeline." Artists including McGwire say their non-AI songs were taken down without notice, and some say they could not reach a human at the company for an explanation.

DistroKid says it strongly disputes UMG's allegations and is working to minimize disruption to affected artists.
