Spotify could face liability for failing to police fake streams

Puck reports that a prosecutor in a bot-farming case suggested Spotify could be on the hook for not policing fake streams. Puck also describes a case in which Michael Smith used AI-generated songs and bots operating through as many as 10,000 accounts to rack up YouTube Music streams. The report asks what might happen as AI agents begin compiling playlists or watching Netflix on their own.
