Spotify picks antitrust fight with Apple

"In all these situations, we talk about vertically integrated services where one company controls the marketplace and tries to steer consumers toward their products or services," said Agustín Reyna, from the European consumer association BEUC. “The problem is that they are in a position in which we expect them to behave more neutrally, and not to favour their own services,” he added.

“Even though we were successful as a company growing our business, we could have been even more successful,” Gutiérrez said. Spotify is not alone in its fight against the Silicon Valley giant. “We support Spotify’s view,” said a spokesperson for Deezer, a French music-streaming app. “We want a fair playing field so that companies have to compete through innovation, content and customer focus.”
