Spotify hit with $1.6 billion copyright lawsuit over songs by The Doors, Neil Young, other popular artists
Wixen also alleges in the lawsuit that the Stockholm-based streaming juggernaut outsourced its work to a third-party company, which was “ill-equipped to obtain all the necessary mechanical licenses”.
The publisher's move comes hardly as a surprise. Spotify was last year slammed with a class action lawsuit from songwriters David Lowery and Melissa Ferrick, followed by two suits in July accusing the company of broadcasting music without proper licensing.
