About this case

Plaintiff Genevieve Capolongo alleged that Spotify artificially inflated Drake's and other artists' streams through a purported pay-for-play scheme. A federal judge in the Southern District of New York dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice after finding that Capolongo had agreed to arbitration; no discovery had occurred.
