Discogs likes to hold their hand out for additional fees. It's quite strange to me when one pays for a domain to host an actual website or webstore and then you send promo cards despite it being a discogs order and try to encourage those to buy from your website, opposed to a discogs purchase to save them any extra costs, which isn't a huge savings, but some and they continue to buy from Discogs anyways... I think some people just want some sense of security, which is maybe understandable as seeing some distros don't deliver like they should. I cannot fathom the idea or mindset of a label or anyone "ripping" someone off as it's not a very lucrative thing to do in the first place, that's some low level type stuff and think such type of individual could be far more profitable by holding up a "help" sign up on the nearest off ramp, than not sending album in the mail or charging a crazy price for an album, to be realistic you can only charge so much, whatever that much is... will not turn you into Tony Montana, you'd be better off working a mundane job in all reality.

100% Agreed! It's not even a thing one should maybe ever think about... What's the worst than can happen? Aren't we all flying by the seat of our pants anyways?

Lee from Navicon Torture Technologies/Theologian had to scrub several tracks from the digital version of the NTT Pure Skin release due to the copyright holders coming after him over his use of a sample from the Underworld soundtrack.

Granted, pretty much the reason anyone even sent him a letter was because an ex essentially went and ratted him out, and his use of the sample was a prominent part of the tracks in question, rather than just a short soundbite, But he still had to deal with it.

In the end, it wasn't a big deal. He replied back truthfully that he never made any money on any of the music in question, and as said, removed the "offending" tracks from his bandcamp (although those track were both really good, so that was certainly unfortunate). And that was that.

So this might be the exception that proves the rule, perhaps, and it also might prove that its not a big deal to solve the problem, but it CAN happen. I'd certainly agree most pe/noise artists shouldn't worry too much about it.

I know metal bands who can't get the album tracks uploaded due having movies samples. So for digital versions, there was new mix where couple words had been deleted, otherwise same mix.
System will automatically detect these things in major platforms and it is taken down automatically. In youtube they allow it, but you can't use it for generating income. Bandcamp does say in the guidelines that copyrighted materian is now allowed without contract, so stuff could be removed. I don't think they have major company level system detecting it.
