But does having a work enter public domain automatically mean that eg New Order will stop getting paid for streams via legitimate services like Spotify?

  That’s something that’s probably not been figured out yet. Probably won’t be figured out until popular stuff from the 50s and 60s starts hitting PD.

  Why would Spotify pay anybody for playing a public domain song?

    Good point! :D

    Presumably if they want to have access to the non-PD stuff they’d have to figure out something.
