The ruling rejected accusations that Spotify broke the law by turning a "blind eye" to bot-fueled fake streams for major artists, but the case isn't quite over yet.

A federal judge has tossed out a class action lawsuit claiming Spotify turns a “blind eye” to bots and allows billions of fake streams of Drake and other stars.
A rapper named RBX (Eric Collins) sued Spotify last year, accusing the music streaming giant of essentially ignoring the problem of streaming fraud by major artists, thus depriving tens of thousands of others of fair royalties. He claimed the company’s anti-fraud rules were “inadequate at best.”
