Spotify hires from Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 3, 2022

Spotify has added a longtime Senate Judiciary staffer to its D.C. team, just as some members of Congress call for the streaming giant to face the music over part of its artist-royalty structure.

Scott Wilson, now a Spotify director for government affairs, comes from the Judiciary Committee's Intellectual Property Subcommittee. He was a senior adviser under subcommittee Chair Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). Wilson has also worked for the full committee, for Leahy's personal office and for Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.).

Last summer, the House Judiciary Committee probed the streaming giant over its Discovery Mode feature, which reportedly allows artists to trade higher streaming priority for certain songs in exchange for reduced royalty rates. Several Democratic representatives renewed their criticism over the feature last month, labeling Discovery Mode as a "troubling move ... that sacrifices honesty in the name of profit."

Subjects: Spotify USA Inc.; Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA); Former Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Senate Judiciary Committee Intellectual Property Subcommittee; Scott B. Wilson
