"The only problem with the story? It’s not true. Well, that’s what Spotify says, anyway. The company has issued a statement to Music Ally slapping down the rumour, which focused on payments made to the star by Swedish collecting society STIM. “Firstly, any payment to STIM would only represent a fraction of the payments rights holders receive and only for music played in one country (in this case Sweden) as we pay not only collecting societies, but also publishers and the record company to play their music,” says a spokesperson." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet
