It was a week ago when thousands of Spotify users received the worst news that they could face with the music streaming and podcasts platform, their pirate accounts had been detected, and the APKs they used to listen to music had stopped working normally.
An APK (Android Application Package), is An application format that does not become official and definitive but includes the tools and functions of this. The APKs are totally legal, in fact it is the companies themselves that launch them so that users are testing apps before publishing them officially, however, The problem arises when APK files are used to distribute pirate or modified applications, as was the case with the pirate spotify.
For years, there are hundreds of Spotify APK that They offered virtually all the functionalities of the Premium version of the app. This was a problem for the Swedish company, since it lost millions of euros every year due to this pirate.
However, through A APK disable campaign, Spotify managed to detect and block all accounts that used a pirate spotify, preventing users from using them as until now. This caused total chaos, where thousands of affected users searched as crazy alternatives so as not to have to pay for this music service, and in many cases exposing itself to cybersecurity dangers.
Many others, calmer have opted to wait to see what will happen, and that is that knowing this world, they know that as with the links to football, Pirates get all these blockages to skip and offer new alternatives. However, Meech, one of the spotify pirates apk He has sentenced that there is no possible solution for this problem.
“There is nothing that the team can do to fix it. Unless Spotify decides to cancel these tests, the situation will remain the same“, and that is that the blockade has occurred by a system that Spotify was testing, and had already tried in certain regions quite effectively.
Spain entered the list last week, and therefore All APKs have stopped working in our country, And if they have not yet done so, they will soon. As we have said before, we cannot say that this episode has been “the end of piracy in Spotify”, since there is always some loophole to sneak through, but for now, The pirates have not found it, and it seems that if you want to continue using the app you will have to pay for the subscription.
