“Lawyers for Collins and Spotify did not immediately respond to requests for comment.”
“Under the platform’s “streamshare” model, subscription and advertising revenue forms a pool of money that’s later distributed to artists based on their share of total streams.”

“This time, she dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning Collins cannot refile the same claims in federal court.”
“Staton said that RBX, whose legal name is Eric Dwayne Collins, failed to allege sufficient facts to support his claims that Spotify unfairly enforced its rules, committed fraud, or harmed consumers or competitors.”
““After granting leave to amend once, and considering the additional facts alleged in the [first amended complaint], the court has found no reason to depart from its prior conclusions,” Staton wrote.”
“Sammy Kogan/The Canadian Press/AP A lawsuit accusing streaming giant Spotify of “turning a blind eye” to billions of allegedly fraudulent streams of Drake ’s music has been permanently dismissed.”
“Collins, a cousin of Snoop Dogg , alleged in his complaint that a “substantial, non-trivial percentage” of Drake’s approximately 37 billion streams were “inauthentic and appeared to be the work of a sprawling network of bot accounts.” Collins claimed Spotify’s royalty system allows fake streams to siphon money away from legitimate artists.”
““Although plaintiff may have less power in the music industry as compared to Spotify, that does not mean his relationship with Spotify is characterized by any protection Spotify gives to plaintiff,” Staton wrote.”
“Collins argued that artificially inflated streams allow some artists to claim a disproportionate slice of the pie, thereby reducing the amount available to artists whose streams are legitimate.”
“A representative for the “Nokia” rapper declined to comment Monday on the dismissal.”
“The judge stayed the case on July 30, saying it would remain on ice pending arbitration between Stake and the plaintiffs.”
“The plaintiffs claim they were “influenced to participate” in Stake’s allegedly predatory gambling operation after viewing Drake’s paid promotions of the platform, including livestreamed gambling sessions and giveaways.”

“The proposed class-action lawsuit, first reported by Rolling Stone last November , was rejected Friday after a judge found that rapper RBX , the lead plaintiff in the class-action lawsuit, failed to establish that Spotify owed him a specific legal duty or that he suffered the type of harm necessary to support a negligence claim.”
