Spotify Settles $43 Million Class Action Copyright Lawsuit
Spotify pulled out of a legal battle, settling a class action copyright lawsuit that has been hounding the streaming service since December 2015. The $43.4 million settlement comes after a year-and-a-half-long legal battle, which began when musician David Lowery filed a $200 ml class action accusing Spotify of knowingly distributing copyrighted songs without paying for mechanical licenses.
