Spotify’s CEO Plays Arms Dealer, Musicians Cry Foul Rights
In this episode of 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?', Spotify’s Daniel Ek faces backlash for channeling James Bond villain vibes thanks to his weapons investments—yes, you heard that astronomy-level plot twist correctly! Meanwhile, songbird Sue (names hidden for maximum intrigue) lamented alleged Spotify meddling with music usage rights. Spotify insists this scandalous symphony is just a 'misunderstanding,' probably the same phrase used by cat burglars and politicians worldwide. In short, your favorite playlist provider might be backing guns while remixing your rights, turning Spotify from 'music savior' into 'confused corporate cocktail.' Even funneling cash into muskets doesn’t stop the beats, but it sure muffles the trust.
