In a notice filed last month, Spotify asks Google to act on a few sites that are actively infringing their copyrights by distributing their premium content for free. The notice’s description read,
Infringing Domains
The above picture reveals the domains listed by Spotify in its DMCA notice to Google. These were found in the lumen database. All these sites are accused to be distributing the free version of their premium accounts. There’s yet another similar notice mentioning more domains of similar accusation. Further, a scan made by Malwarebytes has revealed few of these sites are allegedly spreading malware too. Back in March, Spotify has sent similar takedown requests to GitHub, where over 130 forks of Spotify’s software including XSpotofy were hosted. These were boasted to provide ad-free streaming with access to premium stuff, for free! While all those were taken down by GitHub, it’s now time for Google to act upon. Spotify AB’s several DMCA notices filed to Google, ask the search engine to act against at least 20 domains and 60 different URLs that are infringing their rights. Via: TorrentFreak
