Lol, who'd they consult on that number, Joe Rogan? Fuck Spotify, another leech company getting rich off the talent of others.
According to the article, $150,000 is the maximum damages allowed per track. So $150,000/track * 86,000,000 tracks is around $13 Trillion. So they are asking for the maximum that the law allows.
They could ask for infinity billion dollars for all it matters; you can't get blood from a stone.
Ah, it's just such a wild number, I'm sure it's meant as a scare tactic but it's really more of an 'sure ok buddy'.
