The problem is that HFA was the 3rd party licensing contractor hired by Spotify and other streaming services to obtain licenses from songwriters and publishers. HFA did not properly do their job leaving streaming services exposed to massive copyright infringement lawsuits (from people like me). They created the problem that led to the creation of the Music Licensing Collective so now they are rewarded with the contract to run the matching of musical works and paying artists?!?! Didn't they just fail spectacularly when asked by Spotify to do this job? Didn't the Spotify class action and the four other private lawsuits prove HFA incapable of doing the job?
