NewsUrl: Spotify Is Blocking Subscribers Who Used Hacked Apps to Get Premium Features

Spotify is cracking down on subscribers who are using “unauthorized” apps to enjoy paid features at freemium prices.

First reported by TorrentFreak, Spotify is sending users the following email about “abnormal activity.”
It’s not clear which apps are being targeted, but TorrentFreak points out that there are numerous versions of Spotify that enable non-paying users to bypass certain annoyances, like shuffle-only play and limits on the number of tracks you’re allowed to skip.

...Spotify’s email may seem friendly, but if you’re one of its recipients and your app still works, you might want to think twice about continuing to use it or you might find yourself with a terminated account.
