The Music Fights Fraud Alliance (MFFA), the music industry’s united coalition to fight fraud and develop anti-fraud solutions, recently welcomed 12 new member companies, announced new leadership, and expanded its mission to address publishing-specific fraud as the nonprofit organization continues to expand to address fraud across the industry. Having more than doubled its membership since 2025–to more than 35 organizations across the global music supply chain– the Alliance now reflects a significant share of the world’s digital music traffic, enabling a more sophisticated and unified approach to mitigate and deter suspicious and fraudulent activity.
“Streaming fraud undermines trust in the global music market by diverting value away from real creators. Since fraud doesn’t stop at national borders, strong international collaboration and shared best practices are key to strengthening the global music rights ecosystem. GEMA is committed to taking a strong and proactive role as a trusted partner in a rapidly evolving international landscape, always acting in the best interest of its members and the wider community of rightsholders. By joining the MFFA, we can detect and reduce streaming fraud more effectively — and make sure our members receive the revenues and fair remuneration they deserve.” Thomas Theune, Director Broadcasting and Online at GEMA.
