Digital Music Europe is a trade group that contains the EU’s streaming powerhouse Spotify, alongside smaller services Deezer, Qobuz, Soundcloud, Soundcharts, and Hamendo. According to its own mandate it aims to “support policies that promote fair competition and innovation for digital music services.”
Another goal it claims to have is to “encourage a ‘light touch’ approach to regulation that reflects the complexity of the music industry and the challenges faced by innovators.”
