After a testing few months for Spotify with criticism from artists, the streaming music service has a new foe: dance brand Ministry of Sound.
The company is suing Spotify for copyright infringement, claiming that the service has refused to remove user playlists that mirror Ministry of Sound compilation albums, including some that use the brand’s name in their titles.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't know how British law will rule that. But the mere existence of a lawsuit shows some believe enough in the value of content curation - what the Ministry of Sound effectively provides when producing their famous compilation albums - to think it should be protected by copyright or trademark law.
Seems a bit meta? Probably. And it also shows the limits of copyright law growingly challenged by the remix culture.
