Excuse me, but I will not accept this punishment. The email with the “tips” is pointless, since I apparently landed on a (presumably American) playlist with a song that no longer existed after 24 hours. How am I supposed to report such a playlist? That was, local time, in the middle of the night. Sorry I want to sleep at night and not google whether the streams there were legal? How am I supposed to know? The next day, it only seemed suspicious to me because the playlist and account no longer existed. Am I supposed to be prosecuted because some dubious sites/accounts/users… shared one of my songs? The playlist contained about 100 songs by all sorts of (unknown) people. I neither commissioned anyone nor used any services, etc. for this. You’re talking about “fairness”? lol, it’s more Spotify’s job to ensure that such illegal accounts and playlists don’t even come into being.
I don’t make music to make money. I gave up on that dream long ago. So far, I haven’t even earned 5 euros from it in the last few years. But if things continue like this, I’ll be out of Spotify and won’t be releasing anything there anymore. Besides, I’m also about to change distributors.
