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

UMG sued DistroKid for running an 'AI-slop pipeline' that floods platforms with AI-generated music, and now DistroKid's response is to silently nuke songs — including real artists' work — without warning. Nothing says 'we handled AI responsibly' like punishing human musicians for your own AI mess. The collateral damage of the AI music gold rush continues to hit the people who actually make music.
