The Associação Nacional de Publicadores Musicais (NPMA, in English) wants an assignment and disclaimer charter for Spotify, even if the streaming company does not have a license to convey its content.
In accordance with the charter, the NPMA asserts that “(or Spotify) is engaged in the direct violation (of the direitos autorais) of the hospital of music workers who are not fired at home. letters, videos and podcasts.”
A cease and desist charter is not exactly a judicial notice – but rather an “intent to deal” notice if an activity deemed irregular is not immediately shut down. And yet, the legal process that involves the legal departments of duas or several entities, in this case it is wrong to agree.
In no case of Spotify, the NPMA says that various workers of its clients and members are sent by the sueca company, without it being obliged to do so as planned. In practice, everything on Spotify is monetized in favor of the company – whether ads are served in a free plan or as monthly installments of premium plans – the sense is that this supposedly irregular content makes dinner for the company.
In some situations, the NPMA “requires” that “unlicensed persons be immediately removed” from the platform, or Spotify is subject to a legal process “by continuing to use its workers.”
Second, on Billboard, Spotify must pay around 150 million US dollars (R$769.47 million) less than automatic rights from the entities that manage the pending businesses. Second, these entities use Spotify to create art: plus audiobooks included in all your plansall content on the platform has moved to being considered a “package” – this is a classification that ensures the withdrawal of royalty payments, since books and music, when acquired individually, have taxes different between them.
The NPMA charter was assassinated by the entity's vice president, Danielle Aguirre, and did not cite specific “work.” It is also not possible to go into the number of violations, but alert that even laid-off workers are at risk – some usage rights and renovation care (see TikTok's situation with Universal, for example).
It is true that organizations like the NPMA are private representative entities, and that the EUA government, which has legal regulation for these insurances, does not involve negotiation between the parties. This should be handled directly between intellectual owners and those interested in acquiring or licensing.
The NPMA map also mentions articles from the press that contain Spotify's plans to launch a ferramenta that enable mixing and editing of faxes Your account, which, if confirmed, will require more detailed negotiation from the insured.
Spotify is not responding to the card as of now.
