I mentioned. “The fact that NMPA was waiting for a few months did not care about reporting these episodes, despite the multiple documents of Spotify. We regularly take the TAKEDOWN request, as usual, and delete the episode of the problem as usual.
This is the latest of many retaliants that NMPA has taken to Spotify since SPOTIFY has significantly reduced the payment to NMPA members of the Premium Subscription. Spotify claimed that there is a discounted royalty rate qualification known as “bundle” by adding audiobooks to the premium subscription layer.

He said he didn’t add it. It was planning to stop one of the actions that had already moved against Spotify, and MLC was not the same.
A few days later, on January 29, MLC’s litigation against Spotify was rejected, and the Federal Judge said that the movement to Spotify was supported by “clear” regulations. The judge said that the MLC did not give the MLC opportunity and the law was clear. Nevertheless, if MLC wants, you can file an objection to the Federal Appeals Court.

This is not difficult, and Spotify how to fix this problem. I know that the host of the podcast will be able to make a better creator and that it will be better. Nothing is stopped, and the songwriter does not know the problem of the recent band ring and the incorrect appeal of the CRB III. Do not stop until all other areas that have not been acquired. “
