In this episode, attorney Amber Petrig evaluates recent changes to Spotify’s Terms of Use.

  • Licenses automatically granted by artists who post music on the platform;
  • Spotify’s fairly unlimited freedom to modify terms; and 
  • Company-friendly changes purported to address fake usage and cumbersome payment terms.
