Audius, a decentralized audio streaming platform, faces significant copyright detection vulnerabilities. Its blockchain-based structure lacks a robust content ID system, making it difficult to identify and remove infringing material. Uploaded tracks are distributed across decentralized nodes, preventing centralized takedowns, which has led to widespread pirated content, including unlicensed songs by major artists. Audius claims to be developing a community-driven arbitration system to address disputes, but no formal process currently exists for filing infringement claims. This lax approach risks legal challenges from labels and artists, potentially threatening the platform’s sustainability. While Audius aims to empower artists, its inability to enforce copyright protection undermines its mission, creating a haven for unauthorized content and raising concerns about long-term viability.
