I'm still not from the UK, have no experience (even reading) about UK copyright law (other than some historical tidbits in one of Lawrence Lessig's books).
I completely understand what they're suing over and what spotify has copyrighted vs. what MoS is claiming.
Of course, what they're claiming, the track listing on Wikipedia is probably infringing as well..
(ed. also: Spotify may have the permissions to stream the original, unmodified tracks - but when MoS puts together their compilations there is significant mixing and mastering that happens to modify the tracks from their original; so these aren't even the tracks from the MoS albums - just lists of the original tracks used to compile the MoS albums)
