It's always the same boring meme phrases. I know that having a persecution complex is effective politicking but it comes off immature.
I read the article you posted. You should understand that an individual artist is more important to Spotify than an individual user to Spotify. Especially artists like: Men At Work and Savage Garden
The playlist was called Australian Conservatives and was a public playlist. If you're advertising it, then it's not personal. Normally if you want music associated with your brand, a company or political party has to pay. And artists have the right to refuse.
It looks like Darren Hayes posted this:
Hi @CoryBernadi and @AuConservatives. I do not want to be associated with you, your party or your views. Remove my music from this stunt or expect contact from my publisher.
Responding like this doesn't really work in the real world:
“Get over yourself darrenhayes. Music is for everyone.” Bernardi tweeted.
