A federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit alleging that Spotify inflated streams for artists including Drake and Justin Bieber. The case was thrown out with prejudice after the court ruled the plaintiff was bound by an arbitration agreement with Spotify. The lawsuit had claimed Spotify's "Discovery Mode" amounted to illegal payola and misled users through promoted playlists. A separate related suit remains part of broader allegations over artificial streaming in the music industry.
