Spotify quietly took down a broad swath of its comedy recordings, including that of major stars like John Mulaney and Mike Birbiglia, sparking confusion and outrage among affected comedians and their fans.
Sparking confusion and outrage among these affected comedians and their fans, as of Wednesday , a full week later, the Spotify takedowns remain in place. So why did this happen in the first place?
“This is something that has never been done before,” explains former BMI executive turned Spoken Giants CEOWhat sets Spoken Giants’ and Word Collections’ efforts apart form ASCAP and BMI, however, in terms of the rates for performing rights, is that they are not dogged by a government consent decree, which forces the music PROs negotiations with DSPs to be settled in court instead of directly between the two parties.
Although Spoken Giants negotiators tried to get Spotify to “talk first,” King says, “the next conversation we had, well, it wasn’t really a conversation… It was just an email at 5 o’clock on Thanksgiving Eve, saying they were taking it all down.” “Obviously I was pretty shocked that Spotify removed so much stand up comedy from its catalog… It’s really unfortunate for so many comics who build up their target audience off of people finding them on places like Spotify. They’re such a big chunk of the audio marketplace” says comedian“I agree with [Spoken Giants about Spotify],” says Price. “They might be a competitor, but we should all be fighting for the same common cause, which is, comedians have been f—ed by these streaming services.
· As we’ve worked to establish fair, equitable licenses with Spotify, Spoken Giants has never requested that Spotify take down comedy content.
