    Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

    Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify
