So my take is that music streaming platforms do zero quality control. Not that fraudulent streams are right either.

  > So my take is that music streaming platforms do zero quality control. Where's the line between that and requiring every service that allows media uploads to build a YouTube-esque content ID system, that would cost north of €/$/£100m and still be inaccurate/gameable? inb4 "extracting monetary value" - can you come up with a fair definition that still clearly and unambiguously allows e.g. an aspiring opera singer to upload a demo of their own performance with their CV/application? 20th century's ideas of copyright have so far scaled incredibly poorly into the digital age. 30 years ago nobody expected an average (but highly motivated) Jane/Joe to be able to afford recording an album OR launching a company literally from their bedroom, yet both are now everyday occurrences.
