Spotify hit with two new lawsuits over unlicensed songs
Spotify's streaming business is legally tricky, and just ahead of an IPO that could value it at $13 billion, it's facing two more vexing lawsuits, according to THR. In one, Bob Gaudio of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons alleges that '60s hits like "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" are being streamed without proper licensing. The other suit comes from Bluewater Music Services Corporation, which manages the streaming rights of songs like "White Liar" from Miranda Lambert and the Guns 'N Roses' track "Yesterdays." All told, over 2,500 songs are in dispute.
