The legendary compiler of dance music albums, Ministry of Sound, has settled copyright infringement proceedings it initiated in the U.K against Spotify, the massive music streaming service.
What was the dispute?
Ministry of Sound, which is famous for its compilations including ‘The Annual’, ‘Chillout Sessions’ or ‘Clubbers Guide’, became aware that subscribers to Spotify’s database of about 20 million songs were creating identical playlists which can be searched for and accessed by Spotify’s 24 million active subscribers.
