At SPOZZ, we are committed to building a transparent, fair, and secure ecosystem for artists, fans, and investors.
For this reason, anonymous artist uploads without identification are not allowed. Below are the key reasons why identification is essential:
Reasons for Requiring Artist Identification
- Legal Responsibility – SPOZZ must ensure that uploaded works do not infringe on existing rights. Requiring artist identification is the only way to enforce accountability if rights are violated.
- Terms & Conditions Compliance – Artists must confirm that they control or are authorized to use the rights of the works they upload. Without identity verification, this confirmation would be meaningless and unenforceable.
- Royalty Distribution – Since SPOZZ pays per stream and allows sublicensing, accurate identification is essential to ensure royalties and rights revenues go to the correct rights holders.
- Anti-Fraud & Abuse – Without artist verification, bad actors could upload copyrighted material or AI-generated copies under false names.
- Transparency for Fans & Investors – SPOZZ’s disruptive model is based on trust and fair sharing. Verified artists guarantee authenticity.
- Liability Protection – If an anonymous artist infringes third-party rights, SPOZZ could still face lawsuits. Knowing the artist’s identity allows SPOZZ to shift liability to the uploader.
Conclusion
Artist identification is not just a requirement—it is a legal, financial, and reputational safeguard that protects SPOZZ, rights holders, and the entire community.
