Important Update on Distribution Policies 0 0

At Omziki, we are continuously working to improve the integrity, transparency, and long-term sustainability of our music distribution ecosystem. As part of this commitment, and in alignment with updated requirements from our distribution partners, we are implementing stricter compliance standards across all content hosted on our platform.

Why These Changes Are Being Introduced

These updates are not solely at Omziki’s discretion. Our distribution partners have introduced enhanced global policies aimed at:

• Protecting streaming platforms from abuse
• Ensuring fair compensation for genuine artists
• Maintaining high-quality content ecosystems
• Strengthening fraud detection and enforcement systems

As the digital music industry evolves, platforms must adapt to stricter compliance expectations. These changes are necessary to ensure that legitimate artists continue to benefit from a fair and sustainable environment.

Platform Terms and Policy Agreement

All users agree to comply with Omziki’s distribution policies upon sign-up. These include, but are not limited to:

• Anti-Fraud Policy: https://digital.omziki.com/about/anti_fraud
• Content Style Guide: https://digital.omziki.com/about/content_style_guide
• What is Considered Fraud: https://support.omziki.com/knowledge/details/173/what-is-considered-fraud
• Artificial Streaming Policy: https://support.omziki.com/knowledge/details/41/artificial-streaming
• Meta Ineligible Content Guidelines: https://support.omziki.com/knowledge/details/201/meta-ineligible-content

These policies define acceptable content standards, metadata requirements, and distribution behavior across the Omziki platform.

Enforcement and Compliance Measures

To maintain compliance with both internal and partner requirements, certain releases or accounts may be subject to restriction, takedown, or termination if flagged for any of the following:

• Low or inconsistent engagement over time
• Suspected artificial or manipulated streaming activity
• Unverified or uncleared rights, including missing licenses or ownership disputes
• Copyright infringement or repeated policy violations
• Non-compliance with content, metadata, or platform guidelines

These enforcement measures are essential to protect the ecosystem and ensure fair access to opportunities for all compliant artists.

Industry Context

These updates are consistent with broader industry-wide enforcement trends. Major streaming platforms, including Spotify, have introduced stricter anti-fraud systems and penalty frameworks to detect and address artificial streaming activity:

This reflects a global shift toward more secure and transparent music distribution systems.

What This Means for Artists

We understand that these changes may affect some users unexpectedly. However, they are necessary to ensure a fair and sustainable platform for all artists.

If your content or account is affected, you may:

• Request your release identifiers (ISRCs and UPCs)
• Use them to redistribute your music on other platforms
• Contact our support team for assistance with migration

Our Commitment

Omziki remains committed to supporting artists through transparent systems, fair enforcement, and long-term ecosystem growth. We will continue to improve our tools and policies to ensure a reliable and compliant distribution environment.

We appreciate your understanding and continued trust as we evolve alongside global industry standards.
