I got some post cards in the mail saying I may have a claim against Spotify for a share of a settlement for wrong use of songs. Not sure what it is all about, some class action lawsuit. I don't expect I'll get much from it but some will, they settled for $30 million dollars. Anyone here get some of these notices? I got one of these, as well. What I think means is that Spotify has your tunes available for streaming without having filed a compulsory license. If your tunes are being streamed, it is not likely they are paying you royalties. But, that being said, unless they are being streamed to the tune of millions, we're not talking more than pennies for most folks. I wouldn't be to concerned about it. But, who knows, the lawsuit might give you punitive damages collectively awarded to everyone in the class, so go to the website listed on the card, and do whatever it asks you to do, it wouldn't hurt, just in case some serious bucks float our way. I'm going to.
