I don't think Daniel Ek ever wrote a credible business plan for Spotify. He seems to never be able to make the right decisions. If I were a shareholder, I would push to have him removed. Rather than pushing the EU to apply apply punitive regulations on competitors like Apple, Spotify needs to identify where they are bleeding from and staunch those losses. You don't have to look far.  Spotify gave $200M  to the malignant Joe Rogan? $310M to FC Barcelona for a 'partnership'... why? Yet Ek constantly fights to pay songwriters less, even though they are the foundation for Spotify...? I would not want Spotify to disappear as competition is always good for users but if they did, I would not cry.

I wonder if this will provide an advantage to EU companies and developers. It seems EU policy changes in past have contained bias. Apple and others will of course conform, but I seriously believe this will not be good for the vast majority of iOS users.

India is posturing now that Apple has firmed plans to expand manufacturing in India rather than China. I would say they are not to be trusted. With any security. With any agreement. With anything.

AliveCor is going after Apple for ECG on a watch because the infringement here is somehow unique to Apple who stole a unique idea? I am not seeing it. Are they then going after Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, Fitbit Sense, Withing Scan and other models, Huawei GT and Garmin watches? I likely have missed other smart watches with ECG but the concept can hardly be called inventive if everyone is already doing this. Perhaps AliveCor thought the patent would stand and that Apple would settle with a royalty...
