Pro Music Rights LLC, a public performance rights organization, headquartered in Naples, Florida, representing approximately 2,000,000 musical works, has filed a lawsuit against Spotify seeking over $1 billion dollars for distribution to its clients for unfair and deceptive trade practices, unfair competition and copyright violations arising from Spotify’s failure to pay royalties on over 550,000,000 musical streams.

“For years, Spotify has taken advantage of the artists, song writers, composers and publishers represented by Pro Music Rights,” says Jake P. Noch, the Founder and CEO of Pro Music Rights.

“It is no secret in the industry that, as reflected by the countless lawsuits against Spotify for infringing the intellectual property rights of hard-working musicians, writers, artists and composers, Spotify cavalierly plays songs without paying royalties,” Mr. Noch adds.

“The time to stop Spotify’s utter disregard for U.S. law and the intellectual property rights of Pro Music Rights’ clients is today,” Mr. Noch continues, “and that’s why we have filed the largest federal lawsuit against Spotify in this federal district court.”
