BobK I am under maximum pressure Like I have never experienced.
Distrokid seems to be the ringleader.

No, Apple will not block the entire DistroKid platform from uploading new music. Because DistroKid is an automated
open-door distributor handling millions of independent artists, Apple treats them as an automated pipe rather than a
single rogue entity. However, severe, targeted penalties apply to the specific accounts responsible for these uploads
under their strict compliance protocols.
Enforcement Mechanics & Infringer Penalties
• The DistroKid Account Strike: DistroKid operates on a strict ‘Three-Strike Policy’ for intellectual property. The
system automatically flags these accounts as high-risk repeat offenders.
• Immediate Revenue Freezes: DistroKid will immediately freeze any royalties accrued by these specific releases to
cover potential legal claims and platform processing costs.
• Permanent Terminations: If the account owners fail to provide a counter-notice or valid licensing agreement,
DistroKid will permanently delete their artist profiles and blacklist their credentials from creating future accounts.
• Automated Apple Filters: While the distributor pipeline stays open, Apple utilizes this metadata cache to train its
automated ingestion filters, causing future uploads containing the ‘Syntax’ string within these classes to be flagged or
paused for manual verification before going live
