    I’m no lawyer, but it feels questionable that Spotify would have the right standing to bring this lawsuit. After all, they don’t own the music or the files, they license them or whatever.

          Comparitively Spotify has archived little to no science at all.

      Spotify would’ve become the most profitable company in history if Anna hadn’t stolen their songs.

    That volume of money is so vast it would destroy the economy if it had somehow been stolen from it. How do they come up with this nonsense, it’s absolute hogwash
