In June 2017, it was reported that Spotify had settled a class-action copyright lawsuit brought by musicians David Lowery (of Camper Van Beethoven) and Melissa Ferrick. The lawsuits, filed separately and later combined, alleged that Spotify didn’t fulfill payment for compulsory licenses of their compositions. In 2017, it was reported that Spotify would establish a fund worth $43 million to compensate affected songwriters and publishers. However that settlement amount appears to have gotten bigger. Yesterday, a federal judge granted final approval to the settlement. The settlement is worth more than $112.55 million and includes an immediate cash payment of $43.55 million, THR reports.

Initial news of the settlement was met with controversy. Wixen Publishing Group issued a court filing on behalf of its (including Tom Petty, Rivers Cuomo, Zach De La Rocha, Tom Morello, Dan Auerbach, and Kim Gordon) calling the settlement “a practical free pass on willful infringement.” The judge overruled Wixen’s objections since the group opted out of the settlement and therefore had no standing to challenge it. Wixen filed its own $1.6 billion lawsuit against Spotify earlier this year.

“The combination of the immediate and future monetary relief, along with the non-monetary benefits provided, constitutes a significant recovery,” wrote U.S. District Court Judge Alison Nathan in her opinion. “Ultimately, the Court is persuaded that determining how many infringements occurred or defining the exact size of the class at this stage would undermine the benefit of the settlement in reducing litigation burden. As noted, if Plaintiffs proceeded with litigation, it is far from clear that they would have been able to establish liability or damages—or damages as significant as the recovery established in the settlement.”
