Not that it matters since this isn't going to get paid anyway but funny that the bulk of the judgement is to be paid to Spotify for building a shitty service rather than the rights holders of the music.

Yea, and it is ultimately Spotify who had an exploit that allowed the circumvention of DRM in the first place.

It is like Spotify is getting paid for having shitty tech that doesn’t do what it supposed to do correctly

When you see this phrasing in English language, 'it' refers to the main subject of the preceding statement. In this case as a reply to the main post the subject is the "$322 Million Spotify Piracy Case".
