agrees that all information relating to the performance of Authorized Materials within the Services, including but not limited to analytical data and information concerning amounts paid or payable by Company hereunder shall constitute Confidential
Information hereunder. Unless permitted in accordance with sub-section 1(a) above, sub-paragraph 8(a)(19) or otherwise explicitly approved under this Agreement, Company

Fees”). 
 (b) In connection with each such calendar month, Company will send within **** thereafter: 

 

	 	(1)	to Label (i) an accounting statement covering the calculation and determination of Wholesale Fees and other sums so accrued and payable in respect of the calendar month concerned in the country concerned in the
format set out in Part II of Exhibit B (each, a “Financial Statement”), such statement covering both SME Materials and Orchard Materials; and (ii) a machine-readable report containing the data and information described in (and
otherwise in accordance with) the relevant reporting specifications attached hereto as Part I of Exhibit B (each, a “Monthly Report”) relating to SME Materials only; and 

(2) to Orchard (i) a Financial Statement covering Orchard Materials only; and (ii) a Monthly Report relating to Orchard Materials
only. 
 Monthly Reports and Financial Statements shall only be deemed received by Label and Orchard once uploaded by Company in an
appropriate form to the correct directory on Label’s and Orchard’s FTP servers using access credentials issued by Label and Orchard; provided that Label and Orchard shall be solely responsible for procuring that access to such server is
available to Company at all relevant times. 
 (c) Upon receipt of each Financial Statement, Label will prepare and send to Company a full
invoice in respect of Wholesale Fees due in relation to SME Materials, and will procure that Orchard prepares and sends to Company a full invoice in respect of Wholesale Fees due in relation to Orchard Materials. Company shall thereafter pay ****

hereunder are required to be converted from a currency other than United States Dollars, such conversion shall be made based on the average exchange rate for such other currency published by Reuters for the relevant calendar month. Such exchange
rate shall be reported by Company to Label in Financial Statements.

Company shall include within its end user terms of use for the Services a requirement for End Users to be natural Persons and a stipulation that the Services may be used for private, non-commercial uses only.

related issues), together with any course of action that may be followed to improve monetization of Authorized Materials, it being understood that Company shall have sole discretion to determine the frequency and placements of all Advertisements on
the Services, subject only to complying with the Minimum Ads Per Hour, the Minimum Ad Distribution and the requirements above in respect of ****.

	 	(1)	Except where an End User is accessing Local Files, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent access to Streams and Cached Downloads via the Online Subscription from Mobile Devices other than in
accordance with both the Content Usage Rules and the provisions of Exhibit J. Label may, at Company’s request, approve any particular device or class of device to fall within the definition of a Static Device from time to time during the Term
and as such be used to access the Online Subscription. In considering whether to grant such approval Label shall act reasonably and in good faith, taking into account all relevant factors, including but not restricted to which of the Services is

	 	(iv)	Other than to the extent set out in this Paragraph 8(c)(4), each Family Member shall be entitled to the same form of access to Authorized Materials as if they were a stand-alone subscriber to a Premium Subscription

Members may: (a) prior to 30 August 2016, have registered without submitting a ZIP/postal code and/or postal address; and/or (b) prior to the Effective Date, have registered without submitting a last name (together the “Legacy

	 	(ix)	In the event that, based on Anti-Abuse Measures and/or other factors, Company determines the existence of any Abusive Account, Company shall have a period of no more than **** from the date of determination of such
Abusive Account in order to review and verify whether all Family Members are from the same residence as the Master Subscriber and shall not be required to terminate such Abusive Account for which such verification is sufficiently obtained. Company
shall be entitled to “whitelist” individual End Users in respect of a particular Family Premium Subscription where the relevant End User provides such verification (i.e., such that the End User shall not be required to provide verification
again in respect of that particular Family Premium Subscription). Otherwise, Company shall terminate access to such Abusive Account for the applicable Family Members and shall not permit the relevant End Users to **** for a period of at least ****
from the date of such termination. 

  

	 	(x)	As used hereunder, “Abusive Account” means an individual Family Premium Subscription that meets the following criteria (or such other criteria that may be mutually agreed between the Parties during the

	 	(II)	any IP address for a Family Member does not match any IP address used by the Master Subscriber in the preceding 30 days; or

members that are either (i) aged 35 or more; or (ii) aged within 25-34; or (iii) aged below 30. Company shall agree with Label in writing any change to the definition of the suspicious age
constellation.

 41 

	 	(xi)	In the case of manifest, persistent and widespread abuse of the Family Premium Subscription (as determined in Label’s reasonable discretion), the Parties will escalate the issue at both companies with a view to
agreeing measures to curtail such abuse.

Subscription in each part of the Territory. 

  

	 	(5)	Online Subscription: For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall not be entitled to market or promote the Online Subscription or to allow individuals to subscribe to the same to the extent they are not existing

Label shall provide reasons for requesting disabling of access as part of any written notification.  

  

	 	(7)	In the event Label provides a notification under sub-paragraph 9(a)(5) or 9(a)(6), Company shall comply within the following timeframes for disabling access to the relevant
Application Key: (i) no later than **** in Sweden following the date of such notification, other than where Label **** to disable access; or (ii) where Label cites **** to disable access, no later than **** following the date of such

(b) If Company becomes aware of any unauthorized access to or unauthorized reproduction of Authorized Materials in contravention of the terms,

cooperate with Label, ****, to promptly cure the Server Security Breach concerned to Label’s reasonable satisfaction and (iii) give Label such assurances and furnish to Label such plans as are reasonably satisfactory to Label detailing,

Security Breach, Label shall have the right, in its sole discretion, as of the end of such **** period, exercisable by notice to Company (which notice, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail

 (c) Company shall employ a technology solution (including a secure
streaming format in accordance with Paragraph 11(d)) that administers and effectively enforces the security of Streams, Cached Streams and Cached Downloads embodying Authorized Materials delivered via the Service. Without limiting any other
provision of this Agreement in respect of Company’s administration and enforcement of such security, in the event that such technology solution (including the approved secure streaming format) fails to effectively enforce the intended security
for any particular items of Authorized Materials hereunder (a “Stream Security Breach”), Company shall (i) immediately notify Label (in the event that Label was not the person or entity that made Company so aware), (ii)
reasonably cooperate with Label, ****, to promptly cure the Stream Security Breach concerned on a prospective basis to Label’s reasonable satisfaction and (iii) give Label such assurances and furnish to Label such plans as are reasonably
satisfactory to Label detailing, with reasonable particularity, the steps that have been taken and the steps that Company proposes to take to eliminate the Stream Security Breach concerned on a prospective basis. Without limiting Label’s rights

Security Breach, Label shall have the right, in its sole discretion, as of the end of **** period, exercisable by notice to Company (which notice, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail or
any other effective method of written communication) to **** until such Stream Security Breach is cured to Label’s reasonable satisfaction. During the ****, and (y) all Authorized Materials **** made available via the Service shall ****

 (d) Company warrants that the security features of the Services are designed to prevent the capture or
extraction of Authorized Recordings (i) directly from Distribution Servers, and/or (ii) during Streaming or downloading of a Cached Download or Cached Stream (including through use of browser extensions and development tools), including
but not necessarily limited to encrypting the content of Streams, Cached Streams and Cached Downloads between Distribution Servers and Approved Interfaces. Company and its Service Providers (if applicable) shall also use reasonable technical efforts
to defeat any real-time capture attempts exploiting audio drivers of devices. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with Streams, buffering may occur in the form of segments having a maximum individual duration of ****, provided always that such
segments are ****. Company shall ensure that (x) all requests for Streams, Cached Streams and Cached Downloads are effectively authenticated so as to apply effective restrictions on access, including but not necessarily limited to
authentication of session ID, user ****; and (y) each unique URL utilized to deliver a Stream, Cached Stream or Cached Download is obfuscated and expires immediately following the period of time required to complete delivery of the same to the
device in connection with which it was generated. 
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, Label acknowledges that Company shall only be
responsible under the above provisions in respect of any method of capturing Streams, Cached Streams or Cached Downloads of Authorized Materials which specifically exploits any aspect of Company’s streaming protocol or other software/technology
under Company’s control, and Company shall not be liable in connection with any generic stream-ripping tool that captures audio content at an operating system, hardware or driver level. However,

elements of Authorized Materials shall be delivered to Company on or before the date that the content concerned is delivered to or on behalf of any Similar Authorized Services. 

(b) Where Label or Orchard deliver HD Quality content to a Similar Authorized Service, Label and Orchard shall provide Company with the
equivalent audio and/or video content to be distributed by Company in a lower than HD Quality and in the Approved Format. For the sake of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that no rights are granted to Company pursuant to the forgoing sentence to
make Authorized Materials available in a quality that is higher than that currently offered to End Users (including Subscribers) of the Services as permitted under this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this definition and the

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER 
  

1 Introduction 
 Spotify is an Internet-based service for on-demand streaming audio and video. We provide multi-platform client applications, a proprietary streaming protocol and a back-end consisting of streaming servers, storage
system, advertising system etc. 
 2 Overview of user experience 

Spotify offers an online on-demand streaming service. Accessing the service, requires users to register an account with
Spotify, giving them a login to the system and download and install Spotify’s official client application – available for Mac OS X, Windows, iOS and Android (as well as a for Linux but lacking support) –, third-party client
applications based on the Spotify SDK – C and JavaScript libraries for accessing the service – or use the Spotify web client. A subset of the service can also be accessed from third party websites using the Spotify JavaScript APIs. Spotify
is also able to manage local files and sync them to portable media players not connected to the Internet. 
 For reporting and play restrictions, we
distinguish between the different platforms ****. 
 When choosing what to play, the user can browse metadata such as biographies, reviews, similar artists,
albums and cover art. Content that the user selects to play is streamed to the client and played in real time. If the user wishes to access the same content again, the client has to request it again from the server, although some of the content may
have been cached locally. 
 The client applications on some platforms also support offline playback, where media items are synchronized to the local
machine for offline listening. This is crucial for a good mobile experience, since large areas are still not covered with third-generation or better mobile networks providing sufficient (and consistent) bandwidth for continuous high-quality streams.
Also, offline playback is useful for example when traveling by airplane or when disconnected for other reasons. 
 Spotify also both integrates with
existing social networks and allow users to follow artists as well as other Spotify users directly within the Spotify services. 
 2.1 Local files

 The application is also able to play any local music the user may already have. Spotify will try to import the individual tracks as well as playlists
created in popular media players. ****.

While not forced on a user, he can choose to have music files open automatically with Spotify. 

By ****, Spotify is able to match the local music to the Spotify version of a track with high confidence, allowing playlists of local music to be shared with
users who do not have the same files locally. Such users will instead play the corresponding Spotify resources.

3.3 Cloud computing 
 Where suitable, Spotify is using
cloud computing services to deliver the Spotify service to the end user. This is to enable rapid expansion and reliable operations of our systems. The cloud computing providers consolidate the functions of Internet service providers, hardware
resellers and hosting providers and give us a single interface for operating hardware and network. Whenever cloud computing is considered, an evaluation of reliability and security is made. 

A specialized form of cloud providers are **** provide Spotify with an efficient and secure distribution mechanism for content. Content access is **** provided
by the Spotify backend. 
 3.4 Third-party client applications 

For third-party client applications, Spotify offers software development kits (SDK), both for native and web based clients. For native clients, a C based
library is provided and APIs are provided for different programming environments, for example for embedding into hardware devices or mobile clients. For web based clients, a JavaScript library is provided. 

The SDKs should be viewed as a client without a user interface. Rather than a user interface, the SDKs exposes an application programming interface (API) to
third-party developers who want to build their own applications on top of the Spotify platform. 
 The intention is to turn Spotify from simply a service to
a platform, an ecosystem of developers, applications and services. Additionally this will remove some ****, a threat that faces any closed system. 

Through the API, a third-party application can do most things Spotify proper can do, but adding its own touch to the user interface and new features. As a
platform, Spotify enables developers to come up with new creative things to do with the service. 
 The SDKs uses the same **** as the Spotify first-party
clients. The speed at which a **** is limited in the library. The speed at which you can request ****. 
 Commercial implementations using the SDK must have
a signed agreement with Spotify. As part of that agreement Spotify provides a **** that allows the Spotify backend to identify the partner and additional details about the device itself (model, etc). This identification is performed during user
login over Spotify’s proprietary streaming protocol. The partner and device model identification is further used by the analysis and reporting team to generate statistics of device usage. It can also be used to enable extra features available
to specific partners. One such feature is the ability for ****. The SDK also allows a developer to ****.

To handle rogue applications violating the terms of service we have ****: users that we determine use **** as can specific **** handed out by us. 

3.5 Other third-party integration 
 Using the Spotify
JavaScript APIs directly or using widgets supplied by Spotify built on top of it, such as the Spotify Playbutton, a subset of the Spotify service can be accessed by third parties, outside of the Spotify clients. This way, third parties can create
rich web integrations on top of the Spotify ecosystem including, but not limited to, artist-follow buttons, playlists and personalised recommendations. Playback is provided by the JavaScript APIs or by ****. 

Spotify also offers a feature called App Remote which allows third party applica- tions on-device to control the
Spotify audio playback without switching from the third party application. Audio playback security is enforced by the Spotify application ****.

General system security 
 4.1 System location 
 The
Spotify system is split into two main parts. ****. Included in **** for generating search indexes and **** databases. 
 The production system is the set of
services required to operate the system that the Spotify client directly depends on. The production system are operated out of a number of different data centers and computing platforms. There are several reasons for this, the two primary being that
multiple locations give redundancy to the system and that in order to get the best possible performance, ****. All data centers are **** (see table Third parties). The reason for this is that we require a high level of security and availability.
This is most easily achieved by using ****. Monitoring of the system is handled ****. Service functionality and availability is automatically checked

transferred between accounts) and the connection to Facebook (where we don’t allow a ****) will be an extra deterrent. 
 5.3 Limited user accounts

 To widen the funnel, limited user accounts, in which an account with limited user information is automatically created when the new user starts using
the service, is also supported. 
 Limited user accounts respect the same capping and other restrictions as other accounts and once the complete user
information is added, the accounts seamlessly transform into normal Spotify accounts. 
 For the limited user accounts, the available users information
– country, language, acquisition funnel etc. is stored ****. 
 Features requiring writes in the system; starring tracks, creating playlists, follow
other users or artists and personalized recommendations, remain unavailable until the limited user chooses to add the complete account information.

 6.3 Employee accounts

 Access to the most critical systems **** is only granted to specific employees within the technology department. Protection of the accounts in these
systems is handled in two ways. ****. Password databases are ****, so a **** automatically grant access to any other system. When accessing the system remotely **** authentication is used ****. The employee is required to generate a ****. The ****

6.4 Backup 
 Data from the production system is backed up
continuously. Incremental backups are done of all logs. **** of the databases in the production environment, as well as of critical system files. Backups are copied ****. This way we achieve site redundancy by storing backups off site. All backups
are stored on disk systems protected by ****. Monitoring is in place to ensure that all **** completed successfully. Data pertinent to financial and label reporting is retained ****.

6.5 Software change management 
 Software changes that are
made to the Spotify systems pass through a set of tests before being deployed to the production environment. These tests ensures the stability and functionality of the software. Commonly, only a small part of the servers in the production
environment **** to allow for quick rollback in the case of an emergency. If the update requires **** all connected users are migrated to a different server to ensure that no users are negatively affected by the upgrade. 

The client application is protected from tampering ****. The desktop and mobile versions of the client application will automatically download, verify and
install updates when deployed by Spotify. Access to the **** within the company. 
 7 Content ingestion, storage and packaging 

7.1 Format and codec 
 7.1.1 Audio 

Currently we encode audio streams using Ogg Vorbis or Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) at **** kbit/s bitrates for use by the native clients. Non-premium accounts are limited to a maximum of **** kbit/s. 
 The web client currently uses AAC or MP3 encoded files at
comparable bitrates. 
 Generally, being able to choose a suitable codec on a
case-by-case basis is necessary for us to be able to create the best possible product. 

We are using third-party metadata (including from ****), but it is ****. It is transmitted along with **** from the audio stream by our streaming protocol.

 7.1.2 Video 
 Video uses MPEG-4, MPEG-TS or WebM containers with H.264 or V8/V9 codecs at **** kbps-4 Mbps bitrates. Video playback uses **** to the desired
quality for the user.

7.2 Content ingestion 
 The Spotify content ingestion
process is separated into four steps: importing, transforming, merging and transcoding. The first two ****. 
 7.2.1 Importing 

The goal of the importing process is to put all metadata into a **** and to scan through all media and image files to look for file information such as
duration, bitrate and image size and corrupt data. 
 This step includes retrieving metadata, media files and images through the means agreed on with the
content provider. 
 When new and updated data has been received, the actual importing begins. A relational database with a data model as close to the
provider’s metadata format as possible is filled with new or updated data. 
 Media and image information (filenames, bitrates, durations, image sizes)
is also written to this database. 
 7.2.2 Transformation 

After importing has been carried out, we transform the metadata ****. This common format has been carefully designed to be able to represent the various
features of all our content providers. 
 The transformed data is **** per content provider. 

7.2.3 Merging 
 The objective of the merging step is to
pick all artists and albums from all the transformed content provider databases and merge them into one. 
 If we through heuristics find out that two
artists from different content providers are, in fact, the same artist, we may merge these artists into one. This way, the artist view in the Spotify client will contain albums from both sources. 

This could for example be the case when an artist has switched labels during his career, or is released on different labels in different countries. 

7.2.4 Transcoding 
 Since different content providers
provide their data in different formats, this step assures that all media and image data is available in the formats that the Spotify clients want. Files of different formats are transcoded into the desired ones, with the desired bitrates and image
sizes.

7.2.5 Metadata clean-up 

Certain sources provide metadata that needs cleanup. The system can do this somewhat automatically. If an artist or an album is matched to, for example, an
**** artist or album, ****. 
 7.2.6 QA procedure 
 If a
metadata error is detected, either in-house or by a user of the Spotify client, we use our internal administration tools to investigate the error. 

If an error in provided metadata is detected, we may correct it manually. If the content provider later updates the erroneous data, the administration system
informs us that this has happened and suggests that we let the provided metadata override our manual edit. 
 7.2.7 Metadata update feeds 

Our system is designed specifically to handle updates of media, images and associated metadata. As soon as updated data arrives, it is automatically imported,
transformed, merged, transcoded and incorporated into Spotify. 
 7.3 Protection of raw media and metadata 

Access to the raw media data is limited to **** and to servers doing computational work on either metadata or raw media. The storage system requires **** for
any access to the media data. Raw media is **** to provide strong reliability. 
 The storage cluster is protected **** as described above. Further, media
data can optionally **** to provide additional protection against ****. 
 7.4 Content protection 

For audio playback in our native clients, we use ****. Every audio file is encrypted ****. Files can be ****, should the need arise. The client requests a
****.

For video playback, and audio playback in web clients, third party, **** systems, such as ****, are used for content protection. Similar to ****. 

All network traffic between the Spotify servers and the clients as well as between the clients is ****. The proprietary protocol uses a **** in both cases to
ensure ****. The **** to prevent ****. The protocol is proprietary to prevent ****. Web stack communication with the Spotify backend is handled over ****.

7.4.1 Protection of network traffic 
 When the native
clients connect to the access point (AP), the client and AP perform an authenticated ****. From this **** are derived, one for ****. 
 For line encryption,
we use the ****. We use an ****. All network traffic is encrypted and **** (which also has ****). For each new protocol message, a new ****. **** are selected in ****. **** limiting the amount of **** exposed under a given ****. Every **** is also
****. 
 **** derived for network traffic protection are ****, and are never stored. New keys are **** connection. 

Web stack communication with the Spotify backend is handled over ****. 

7.4.2 Downloading media data 
 Clients can download media
data from either the **** or from ****. The data is encrypted using ****. Legacy web clients uses ****. As all communication with the **** is encrypted, all media data which is streamed directly from the Spotify backend travels within an encrypted
tunnel, even if it is already encrypted. 
 7.4.3 Playback of audio in native clients 

To be able to play encrypted audio data, clients request a **** for the audio file from the Spotify backend. **** and, in native clients, is then **** before
the client begins decrypting the audio file. This is done to make **** slightly more difficult. 
 Preview clips are ****.

7.4.4 Preview clips 
 To securely provide limited previews
and to lower latency on random playback, 30 second snippets of tracks are **** from the full length versions and served either by **** or over the proprietary Spotify protocol. For full-length playback in the web client, the snippets ****
time-limited URL (or ****, see Legacy web client audio protection) for the full length tracks thus cutting away a roundtrip and connection setup time from the latency of playback. 

**** preview snippets are ****. 
 7.4.5 Protection of the
cache 
 The client caches data, e.g. the encrypted streams, to disk. For native clients, the entire disk cache is ****. The client never **** (except
for ****). Again, **** and the **** begins. 
 The web client uses standard HTML caching, but will exclude any ****. 

7.4.6 Protecting offline content 
 For offline content, we
reuse all existing mechanisms from the online mode, with the addition of a ****. The ****, at which point the client will refuse to play offline content. The ****, and integrity-protected ****. 

The entire **** in encrypted form in memory, and **** are decrypted as needed. **** are used to set up a **** before being used, to prevent ****. 

Every time **** written to disk, a **** and the ****. By using ****, this **** can be done without ****. 

The **** for the **** are derived from **** every time the storage is written. The use of a **** prevents **** from copying an **** between machines. **** are
derived using the ****. 
 7.4.7 Offline reporting 
 For
reporting plays that occurred while offline, the client logs all offline activity and reports back to the server as soon as it comes online. Activity logs are stored encrypted with **** (as to not tempt ****) and integrity protected **** (to ****),
and ****.

7.4.8 Offline-mode limitations 
 The number of tracks
concurrently synchronized for offline listening can be limited. Likewise, the number of machines that are allowed to simultaneously use the offline mode for a given user account can be ****. 

7.4.9 Offline-mode hack response 
 Of course, there is a
risk of a **** of our offline data format, which would allow an attacker ****. Naturally, at that point, we cannot ****. However, given the existence of such a hack, we can deploy a **** protection format for offline mode, and which ****. 

For clients which auto-update themselves, an attacker would then ****. For all clients, they would not be able to download any new content (or use the Spotify
service) until they ****, so the **** would not be able to get access to any more content than what he already **** at the time the hack was discovered. 

7.4.10 Legacy web client audio protection 
 A key property
of our content protection approaches is that we **** (except for offlined tracks), allowing us to ****. This is done via ****. 
 For legacy web clients, to
decrypt the encrypted part of the track, the client must **** channel to Spotify’s web servers. Recognizing that **** is inherently easier than the native clients, the ****. 

We anticipate that the **** may need to change from time to time. The initial approach in development entails ****.

7.5 QA and testing 
 We perform volume equalization on all
tracks to minimize volume differences between tracks. Normalization is calculated server side and applied in the native clients. We also provide a volume control. 

All original (lossless) data is transcoded into formats suitable for the different delivery platforms. At the moment, the target format is Ogg Vorbis,
Advanced Audio Coding and MP3. The transcoded material is then moved to physically separate servers when injected into the live system. The original, lossless data remains unchanged in our original storage facility. 

The process of importing, transcoding and incorporating new data into the Spotify live system is on the order of **** depending on the amount of data in the
batch. 
 7.6 User authentication 
 The authentication
procedure uses a ****. We will not generally attempt to ****. However, we only allow one client (worldwide) per account to play media at any one time. Starting playback in one client will automatically pause all other clients a user may be running.
An exception to this rule has been made for ****. For a group of individuals sharing an account, this will be frustrating enough for the users to register personal accounts. 

7.7 Territorial filtering 
 In order to locate the
listener, the Spotify servers use ****. The location is then resolved as an ****. 
 For each media item, the Spotify servers store a list of countries in
which it may be played. Spotify then uses location-based content filtering in all client views, as well as when actually streaming. 
 Filtering in all
these different contexts simply means to make sure that the listener’s country is included in the list of allowed countries for all media items returned. All territorial filtering is **** so that when the listener starts playing, it is ensured
that the media item is eligible before streaming starts. 
 A Spotify listener may create links to artists, albums and media items. These links can be sent
over instant messaging or email, or be posted on a web site, but the user clicking a link may be in a totally different territory than the user creating the link, and may therefore not be eligible to play what it’s pointing to.

 CONFIDENTIAL 

TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER 
  

When a user follows an artist link, he sees only the eligible albums. If the user instead follows a link to an album that he is not eligible to play, he is
taken to the track listing of the album, but is informed that he is not able to play the album due to territorial restrictions. 
 Finally, a link to a
track is almost the same thing as a link to an album, except that, in the current implementation, the track starts playing immediately when the link is clicked. If the user is not eligible to play the track, however, he is taken to the album’s
track listing, but informed that he is not able to play the album due to territorial restrictions. 
 In a similar way, users following links to other views
in the clients (e.g. a playlist) will have non-available media items filtered out. 
 7.7.1 Detecting country of
residence 
 There are several features in place to protect against users trying to access the service by claiming to reside in a country other than they
actually do. During the account registration phase Spotify utilizes a **** that detects the users country of residence. This information is then used ****. 

In order to further ensure that the country of residence actually is correct a **** via the client. The access point will **** and match it against the
information in the ****. If there is a **** be presented with a warning message and **** the users account will be disabled. The account will not be re-enabled until the user either changes his country of
residence or returns and logs in from the “correct” country. The reason for the delay in disabling the account is the to accommodate a good user experience in the event of shorter travels abroad. 

The result of the method described above is a system that has a good protection against users that try to misrepresent their country of residence during the
account registration process, ****. 
 Another method used to validate country of residence is via ****. Whenever possible and once a user shares **** with
Spotify the country of residence is validated through the ****. This is considered as a secure method and it overrides the method described above. 
 7.8
Client authentication 
 The authentication between client and backend is always complicated when handing out a program which handles all communication.
As of today, there is **** the client program. If tools are commercially available at reasonable market prices, what we can do, though, with streams originating from the backend, is to ****, thus making it very hard and impractical to ****.

7.9 URL generation and protection 
 For **** of media
files, data is requested on the Spotify proprietary streaming protocol. For **** that is retrieved from the Spotify backend. Only when the request has been granted will the client be given the **** it needs to retrieve that file. 

7.10 Stream initiation 
 The native clients do not employ
any ****, in the common sense, for audio playback. Instead, we rely on **** to allow us to have control over the data. All traffic over the network (except for CDN, mentioned previously) is encrypted. 

To download media (or specifically, ****) the user needs to open a network connection and authenticate using his username and password. Web based clients uses
**** and **** standards. The **** is enforced by **** supplied by web browser vendors, for example ****. Legacy web based clients uses a proprietary, cryptography based system. 

Video playback uses a strong, third party DRM module provided by, or available on, the device platform, such as ****. Video file encryption is optional,
depending on the requirements from the content provider. 
 7.11 Stream protocol 

The streaming protocol is a proprietary **** protocol with cryptograph- ically sound authentication and encryption. We use a **** for all transfers. All
streams employ **** for integrity protection, and all **** and negotiated in a way which ensures ****. 
 Clients built on web technology use **** for
communicating with the Spotify backend and CDNs.

7.12 Local caching 
 To allow our service to scale to
millions of users and for responsiveness, we cache media files on client disk. The cache employs the same ****, in that the music is stored encrypted and the entire cache uses another ****. 

The spotify client never stores any **** except to support offlined content as covered above. 

The web client also does not store unencrypted streams on disk but the browser cache is **** beyond that of the tracks’. 

7.13 Auditing 
 Every time the Spotify client stops
playback of a media item, a message is sent back over our encrypted channel to our backend. This message includes a **** that was played and **** it was played. The receiving backend service appends information about user and location to the
messages and passes them to the ****. 
 **** are the main source when generating weekly and monthly reports. In this step the unique **** are used for
counting the number of times each item has been streamed and for looking up more information about the item, such as artist and other identifiers specific to the content provider. If needed, the report can also include the number of times each item
was played by each user as well as other aggregates that might be of interest. 
 8 Partner integrations 

8.1 Sonos 
 The Sonos integration is based on the Spotify
SDK. Sonos use (as that of any other SDK-based system) requires a Spotify premium account and supports up to **** simultaneous streams. It is not possible to stream **** at the same time. 

8.2 Spotify connect 
 Spotify connect allows a user to
share playback from one device to another, for example allowing a desktop client to share its playback with a phone or a hardware device such as a stereo. This allows for device to device remote control. Audio streaming is done via the Spotify
backend, as opposed to peer-to-peer. The hardware implementation is based on the Spotify SDK.

 ANNEX 2 

Approved Verification Methods for SheerID 

It is anticipated that at least one of the primary, secondary and tertiary verification methods described below will be available via SheerID in all
countries. Where only one such method is available in a particular country, that method shall be deemed approved by Label for such country as of the Amendment Effective Date. Where portal verification is available in a country, only that method
shall be deemed approved by SME. Where portal verification is not available in a country, but campus ID verification is available, campus ID verification shall be deemed approved and manual verification may be used as a back-up solution if required. 
 Primary method: portal verification 

This method requires individuals to prove their current student status by authenticating with their institutions’ learning portal through a Single Sign On
(SSO) or, in the USA, by confirming their current status through the US National Clearing House database. 
 In order to confirm eligibility, the Approved
Verification Partner shall collect data relating to the individual being verified, including: 
  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** (i.e. student, as opposed to teacher or faculty personnel) 

  

	 	•	 	**** 

  

	 	•	 	**** (normally a username and password) 

 Secondary method: campus ID verification 

This method requires individuals to validate their student enrolment by being connected to a valid IP address (e.g. being connected to campus wifi) from the
same eligible institution they declare as their university/college when they are registering for the Student Offer, and by verifying a valid email address available only to those that are or have been associated with the university/college
concerned. 
 Tertiary method: manual verification 

This method requires individuals to upload an official document issued by the school/university (e.g. university ID card) and including the full name of the
student, an issue date within the current term, and the full name of the college/university that the student is attending. SheerID (or other approved Verification Partner) will manually check the content of the qualifying document submitted by the
end user and will use ‘image manipulation fraud detection’ technology to detect whether the document was manipulated or altered.
