melthebell   863 #1 Posted May 10, 2018 ............but not removed???  eh?  http://thehill.com/policy/technology/387077-spotify-removes-r-kelly-from-playlists-due-to-hateful-conduct-policy  so his musics been removed from editorial and playlist, discovery sections of the site, BUT NOT removed from spotify (obviously they would lose money?)  So how many other bands, artists should be removed in a similar move, i bet theres plenty on there that have "hateful conduct" who are still there, everybody thats hit a woman, had a fight even?

Waldo   96 #3 Posted May 10, 2018 Wows, only one post in and an entire post chain removed! Is that a record?  Anyhow, in response to the OP. Doesn't surprise me, companies putting profit before morals. Any action taken is likely little more than a PR stunt (they want to be seen to be ethical, while in actual fact, they care more about profits).

medusa   16 #5 Posted May 13, 2018 I understand Spotify's position. They're not going to stand in the way of people streaming R Kelly's music if they wish, but they are not going to promote his music themselves. This makes perfect sense as they don't censor any music that the musicians or companies have made a deal to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
