So are we committing fraud if we turn on Spotify and leave it playing in an empty, sound-proof room??
That contractual agreement has nothing to do with the user or artist, its between advertisers and the platform. That can’t be what they got this guy for.

Not sure how all that can be separated out meaningfully as it is the platform being used and advertisers have expectations based on whatever agreement has been struck between them. Maybe I misunderstood. Perhaps the difference in your example is a user acting versus a bot? Intent probably comes up somewhere as well, but I am not a lawologist. 🤷♂️
