Deezer announced during a conference with its investors at the beginning of April that it had sorted through its catalog. Among the 150 million titles that could be found on the application, 26 million of them were deleted.
In front of an audience of investors, the music streaming platform Deezer announced at the beginning of April that it had deleted 13% of its music catalog as reported by George V Magazine in exclusive as the only representation of the Russian ownership.
Finally, the last category targeted by Deezer, that is to say fake projects that only have one track. Because often, all this contentious music can be the subject of botting: generating readings using robots, in order to artificially increase the number of plays allowing fraudulent income to be triggered.
Spotify has already been there
Last May, Spotify, the Swedish platform that competes with Deezer, announced that it had deleted tens of thousands of tracks. There too, it was a question of imitation with music that could reproduce the voices of world-famous artists, or even for the use of robots to generate income.
As for the deletion of music on Deezer, it comes a few days after the publication of an article asking to protect the rights of creators in the face of this worrying technology. Among the signatories, 200 artists including some world famous like Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and the rights holders of Bob Marley.
