Spotify plans to penalize labels or distributors for 'streaming fraud' by charging 10 euros per offending track when more than 90% of streams on a song are found to be fraudulent. A new streaming royalties system requires a threshold of 1000 plays before money is paid out. Apple Music has been making 'financial adjustments' for repeat fraudsters, resulting in a 30% drop in streaming manipulation. Spotify struck a special deal with Google that allows it to bypass Play Store fees. This deal has been confirmed by Google and is described as unique and exceptionally generous. Spotify's updated streaming payment policies include eliminating payment for songs with less than $1,000 streams.
