"Apple's Antitrust Woes: Spotify's Comments and European Fines"

Spotify's response to Apple being fined $2B for antitrust offenses suggests that it anticipates Apple may engage in "malicious compliance" in another antitrust case regarding the App Store rules. The dispute revolves around Apple's policy of taking a 30% cut from subscriptions made through its App Store, which Spotify argues gives Apple Music an unfair advantage. The EU ruled in favor of Spotify, but Apple is appealing. Spotify implies that Apple may not fully comply with the ruling, similar to its response to a previous antitrust case, and expects the matter to be drawn out in both Europe and the US.
