Spotify took down the work of hundreds of comedians are negotiating for royalties on streaming platforms, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Spotify removed hundreds of comedians’ albums and work from the streaming platform amid a dispute over royalties and copyright, the Wall Street Journal reported. A global rights administration company, Spoken Giants, is working with a group of high-profile comedians — including Tiffany Haddish, Jim Gaffigan, Kevin Hart and John Mulaney — to negotiate terms that would allow the comics to be paid when their work is paid on platforms like Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora and YouTube, the Journal reported Saturday.
