The National Music Publishers’ Association filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission against Spotify over its decision to offer audiobooks to subscribers, leading to reduced royalty payments to songwriters. NMPA alleges that Spotify's bundling scheme, which automatically enrolled subscribers into a new offering without the choice to remain on a music-only tier, violates the law and could result in a $150 million drop in songwriter payments over the next year. This move has sparked conflict between Spotify and music publishers, prompting legal actions and a cease-and-desist letter from the NMPA. Spotify has defended its pricing strategy, stating that it informs users in advance of any changes and offers easy cancellations.

The National Music Publishers Assn. filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against Spotify, objecting to their plan to bundle music and audiobooks which would lower royalties for songwriters and artists by an estimated $150 million annually. Spotify confirmed the reduction in royalties but claimed creator earnings would increase overall. The complaint accuses Spotify of deceptive practices by converting subscribers to bundled subscriptions without consent, raising prices, and obstructing cancellations. It alleges Spotify's conduct harms market competitors, songwriters, and music publishers by reducing royalties and distorting competition, calling for an FTC investigation to stop Spotify's misconduct. Spotify defended its actions, emphasizing its contributions to songwriter remuneration and claiming that changes in product offerings lead to varying payment structures agreed upon with publishers.

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas failed in her challenge against rules that prevent her from competing in elite women's races as the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed her request for arbitration with World Aquatics governing body. The ruling stated that she did not have standing to challenge the policy, which bans transgender women who have undergone male puberty from participating in women's races but allows eligibility in an 'open' category. Thomas called the decision discriminatory, urging trans women to fight for their rights, while World Aquatics hailed the ruling as progress towards protecting women's sports, setting a precedent followed by other Olympic sports in excluding transgender individuals from competing in women's events due to potential physical advantages from male puberty.
