Spotify to take down all tracks by music label Saregama within the next 10 days: Report
FirstpostSpotify has stated, as per the report, that the litigation is not an adversarial one. Spotify, which has been engaged in an ongoing licensing battle with Warner Music, can now add Indian music label Saregama to its list of problems. As per a report by barandbench, the world’s biggest music streaming, in terms of subscriber count, had approached Saregama to get a license for streaming the latter company’s musical works on its platform. After discussions and meetings, Saregama agreed to provide copyright of its tracks to Spotify a month before the music streaming service officially unveiled in India. However, the report states that the license agreement could not be finalised and therefore Saregama has requested Spotify to remove its tracks from the platform.
