Spotify takes strong action against pirated apps on Android

Spotify takes drastic measures against copyright-infringing app "Spotify Mod" on Android.

Spotify has just made a strong move by disabling the "Spotify Mod" application - a pirated software that helps users access Spotify Premium features for free on Android.

For a while now, "Spotify Mod" has allowed users to use Spotify's premium features without having to pay.

However, in recent days, users reported that the app is no longer working.

According to information from MySmartPrice and The Indian Express, users cannot access playlists, saved songs, and cannot play music. This suggests that the move was made directly by Spotify.

While some users continue to search for other mod versions to use for free, many warn that these APK files may contain malware.

These mods have long been in violation of Spotify's terms of service, so it's no surprise that the company is taking such drastic action.

Spotify is currently offering a Premium plan with many deep discounts in some regions, including the US, where users can experience 3 months of Premium service for free.
