A new class action lawsuit against #Spotify claims ‘billions’ of Drake’s streams were fraudulent and the streaming platform turned “a blind eye” to it The suit was filed in #California District Court on Sunday night with #Snoop’s cousin, #RBX, named as the lead plaintiff “Every month, under Spotify’s watchful eye, billions of fraudulent streams are generated from fake, illegitimate, and/or illegal methods,” like bots, the lawsuit states. Such “mass scale” streaming fraud, it continues, “causes massive financial harm to legitimate artists, songwriters, producers, and other rightsholders.”  While the lawsuit suggests that use of bots is widespread on Spotify, the only example it cites pertains to Drake. It claims “voluminous information” which Spotify “knows or should know” proves that a “substantial, non-trivial percentage” of Drake’s approximately 37 billion streams were “inauthentic and appeared to be the work of a sprawling network of Bot Accounts.”👀 via rollingstone •ainty...
