Attorney Dina LaPolt Keeps the Pressure on Spotify at MIDEM 2019

Preeminent entertainment attorney, and SONA’s not so secret weapon, Dina LaPolt took the annual MIDEM conference by storm this week with her keynote speech. 

Ms. LaPolt pulled no punches when discussing the recent appeal by Spotify and other streaming services to the Copyright Royalty Board’s (CRB) ruling last year to give songwriters and publishers a long overdue rate increase. Her comments sent the press into high gear in their coverage of the keynote program. So far Billboard, Variety, Music Week, and Musically have carried most of her remarks.
