Abstract
The note examines the legal and policy implications of Spotify's AI-powered music curation, arguing that while its use of copyrighted material may constitute copyright infringement, it qualifies as fair use under the transformative and non-expressive purposes doctrine. However, the analysis highlights the need for economic reforms to ensure equitable compensation for rights holders and sustainable innovation.
