The IFPI has introduced the Streaming Integrity Initiative, a new industry-wide effort designed to combat fraudulent activities within music streaming. This initiative requires music distributors to adhere to a set of five core principles aimed at enhancing the trustworthiness of the streaming ecosystem.

Key among these principles is the commitment to establishing and maintaining robust procedures for vetting new customers, alongside a continuous focus on strengthening existing anti-fraud systems to ensure a fairer environment for artists and rights holders.
