Spotify chief defends AI-generated music

Spotify struck a deal with Universal that allows subscribers to create “controlled” covers and remixes; the post does not disclose the licensing scope, revenue split, or launch timing.

Why it matters: FT sourcing and a Spotify-Universal licensing frame clear HKR-H/K/R. Scope, revenue split, and launch timing are not disclosed, so this stays at the featured threshold for a mid-weight product/partnership update.
