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

Artists have taken to social media to criticize DistroKid for removing their tracks without notice. The service said the removals are a direct reaction to a lawsuit filed by Universal Music Group, which claims DistroKid operates an AI‑slop pipeline. Musicians report that even non‑AI recordings have been caught up in the purge.
