Edit For the reply from DigDis:Check your email, The label owner sent you something, luckly for you, he asked me to dont post the proof he has yet since it can dismantle your reply with provable facts.What you do now based on the email he sent will be up to youand you are extremely wrong to say its my label. No sweetie, its not my label, its Gabriel's label, And the fact is, he has all the paperwork to prove it in a court of law.Original Review below:As someone who has worked professionally in the music industry under the name Root Cause, collaborating with a wide range of music labels and distributors worldwide, and various independant artists. I can confidently say that dig dis! has been the worst experience I’ve ever had to deal with by association.I was recently involved in helping a friend which he has various music labels, one music label specifically we been informed by previous owner the shady practices digdis does, and the ordeal was beyond unacceptable. Here's why artists and labels should stay away from this distributor:Unauthorized Distribution of Music: Despite clear and legal ownership of a label being transferred to its new owner, digdis continued to distribute the music catalog without any valid agreement in place. The current label owner never signed a contract with them and explicitly refused to do so by email.Insecure Handling of Private Data: digdis had extremely poor account security, with banking and personal information tied to a person in a completely unrelated region, this one being from Colombia and the person's name and surname had nothing to do with the music label at all. This is a massive red flag and a serious privacy violation.I expected better privacy considering this distributor is in Europe and should protect the data like GDPR does worldwide. How can any professional label trust them with confidential data and banking data?Manipulative Legal Tactics: In a final settlement document, digdis demanded that the label owner relinquish all rights to make any legal claims in the future—even if the music remains available on platforms under their control. This is utterly insane and unethical. No company should ever try to silence a rights holder from defending their copyright or trademark in the future.Withholding Royalties: Not only did digdis fail to remove the music from all platforms, but they also blocked access to royalties. According to their actions, both the former and current accounts were restricted, yet the music was still being monetized somewhere—but not paid out. There is also proof they moved the music to another account which now they collect their 30% share and the label's 70% share, so they dont pay anyone anything but themselves.Refusal to Cooperate Even After Legal Documents Were Provided: Despite receiving signed contracts showing ownership transfers, trademark evidence, and proof of distribution preference (with another company), digdis insisted they had the right to continue monetizing and distributing the label's catalog. They even responded to copyright takedowns with misleading counter-notifications pretending to be the owners of the music label and stating they have a legal contract to distribute the music label. 1st label owner passed away, 2nd owner gave up all the rights to the 3rd and current owner, theres no valid contract because 3rd owner never signed anything with them. A DMCA counter notification must provide the owner's details not the distribution company details. The current label owner has proof of previous counter notifications and it further increases his legal stand point that shows they mislead and do fraudulent actions. Misuse of personal details its considered a felony.Reputation at Risk: This situation is now headed toward full legal action involving multiple claims: copyright infringement, trademark infrigement and abuse, fraud, misuse of royalties, and misrepresentation.Considering how bad they deal with this situation, the huge amount of email correspondence proving it, it will most likely go to a class action lawsuit. It didn’t have to be this way, but digdis chose to ignore every opportunity to resolve the matter respectfully and legally.To any independent artist, label, or manager reading this: there are far better and safer alternatives to digdis. You deserve a distributor that respects your contracts, protects your data, and doesn't act in bad faith. Avoid this company at all costs.
