Last month, music streaming giant Spotify threatened to withdraw its service from Uruguay over proposed amendments to music copyright law in the market. That bill (Rendición de Cuentas) has since passed, and a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement on Monday (November 20) that, “Without clarity on the changes to music copyright laws included in the 2023 Rendición de Cuentas law” the streaming platform “will, unfortunately, begin to phase out its service in Uruguay effective January 1, 2024.”
