US-based Wixen Music Publishing, representing music publishers, filed a $ 1.6 billion compensation claim against Spotify for more than 10 songs.
Wixen Music Publishing, who owns more than 10 songs, including singers like Janis Joplin, Neil Young and Tom Petty, has claimed $ 150,000 for violating Spotify rights per song.
The company filed a suit against the California Supreme Court at the end of December, claiming that Spotify did not comply with the rights of songwriters in contracts with manufacturing companies. For this reason, the company, more than 10 songs, said the song should pay 1.6 billion dollars.
Spotify is continuing discussions on reconciliation by opening some singers. The company agreed to pay $ 43 million for artists, but Wixen and other publishers refused to accept their claims.
Spotify does not violate the right to broadcast because it claims that the songs broadcast by the publishers are also in other circles.
As a result, Spotify agreed to pay $ 43 million, but this time $ 1.6 billion is a serious compensation case. Let's see what happens.
