"The goal, in short, was “down with algorithmic listening, down with royalty theft, down with AI-generated music”."

In the article they do mention Massive Attack, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Deerhoof and Hotline TNT delisting their music and then further speaking out in protest- removal being 1/3 parts of the listed "goal".

But really it seems like the discourse on Spotify is making waves again with the recent reveal of Ek's Helsing investment. Given this is the same dude who said that "the cost of making content is close to zero", it's understandable that people are speaking out.



Spotify in the UK has all the Massive Attack albums I remember, so doesn't seem like they tried very hard to "pull" them.

Never heard of the others, but only King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard seems to be totally gone.
