5. Anti-Fraud & Artificial Streaming Policy

Core Muzic enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy against artificial streaming and fraud, in accordance with Digital Service Provider (DSP) requirements. Prohibited activities include the use of bots, click farms, scripts, or any third-party services that artificially inflate streams, views, or engagement. If a user is found to be manipulating streams, their releases will be immediately taken down, royalties will be withheld, and the user's account will be permanently banned.

6. Copyright & Takedown Policy (DMCA)

You must hold 100% of the rights to the audio and artwork you upload.

Core Muzic complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice or a direct platform claim from a DSP regarding your content, it will be removed immediately. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

7. Misleading Metadata & Impersonation Policy

The use of false, deceptive, or misleading information regarding artists, labels, or releases is forbidden. This includes using deceptive track titles, listing popular artists as collaborators when they are not involved, or impersonating established entities to manipulate search algorithms. All metadata must accurately reflect the content of the audio.

8. Content Quality Guidelines

All audio and artwork must meet professional quality standards required by our DSP partners. Audio must be properly mixed and mastered without excessive silence or digital clipping. Artwork must be high resolution, perfectly square, and cannot contain external URLs, social media handles, pricing information, barcodes, or offensive material.
