Spotify’s Bundling Practices Spark Bipartisan Call for FTC Probe
Spotify's bundling plans have two Senators Marsha Blackburn and Ben Ray Luján calling for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate.
Senators Marsha Blackburn(R-Tenn.) and Ben Ray Luján(D-N.M.) asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Spotify on Friday (June 20). In a letter to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson obtained by Billboard, the senators accused the streamer of converting “all of its premium music subscribers into different — and ultimately higher-priced — bundled subscriptions without their knowledge or consent.” “Bundled Premium Plans are apparently aimed at increasing [Spotify’s] profits,” Blackburn and Luján wrote, “while lowering royalty payments to the creative community.”
