Illegal behaviour and false accusations
I am going to be very short.
Spotify enacted it's policies on November 21st, 2023.
My album was released 19 years prior to that and got a lot of promoting in France where it was very well received.
I used musicavertising from March 2023 to August 2023 for about four months in all. At the time it was perfectly legal.
Spotify is behaving illegally because they claim that my songs streams are 100% artificial.
The claim is absurd because they are referring to a period before their policies were enacted.
All the streams I received prior to November 21st are valid. All received after that date are valid because my contract with musicavertising was terminated in August 2023, 3 months before their policies came into effect.
Spotify is refusing to pay me for what was legally acquired. Distrokid is trying to force me to incriminate myself when I attempt to log into my account to cancel my subscription.
Is that legal? I have taken screenshot as proof of what comes up when I try to log into my account.

False claims by Spotify
When I log in, Distrokid has a document they are trying to get me to sign stating that I am guilty of wrongdoing. They have still not provided proof.I totally refuse.
This means I cannot access my music, or my bank. (See screenshot).RELEASE DATE OF A BAHAMIAN IN...
Famous rappers are leaving all streaming platforms to sell directly to their fans. Me too
These songs were released long before Spotify or Distrokid even existed.
The album created a sensation when released in France and three majors invited to see about signing me onto their label.
The songs got tons of airplay. I did TV shows, festivals, concerts and got very good international press reviews.
My YouTube videos have about 14K viewers.
I along with the co-composers have collected royalties for years. The songs are popular. I never even promoted them using ads or merch.
I was only given the names of the songs today because Distrokid put them up when I tried to log into my account.
They informed me that my songs were removed!
I just contacted Spotify support.
Once again, no response from them. This time though, I was told to change to a new distributor to resolve the issue.
Then the agent closed the chat.

- Dunno
- Change their policy
- Provide proof
- Lack of transparency
Preferred solution: Review of my songs and false accusations removed. Spotify should assume responsibility for their actions and most of all provide proof

Lack of transparency
Since Spotify sent a alert to my distributor Distrokid almost two months ago, I get sent from one to the other.
Ask Spotify to provide proof of wrongdoing, and the support agents close the chat.
They refuse to assist, dialogue or show the slightest bit of concern.
They tell you to reload your songs. They could care less how many listeners you had.
They do no research,.
They do not provide links for you to verify.
Is this Spotify's way of not paying by forcing artists like me to start from zero?
They don't even have a cut of date to say that after a certain date nothing is valid.
They take everything and all your hard work is lost.
Artists please let's all take away Spotify's power. Their insensitivity to the plight they plunge is in not normal.
Accused without proof?
This is what we did by making Spotify more powerful than they need to be.

Can not log in to spotify
I have tried countless times to log into my spotify account but it won't work. I have tried to reset my password but the email won't come through.
I have checked spam folders, trash can, and junk folders as well in case I missed it. it will not come through. I also did this to my other account but I have no other email accounts so I don't even have another one I could have used to log into anyways. I have looked on every website I could find but there's nothing.
I then tried to make a new account but it wont work. It said that there was already an existing account connected to the email address so then i tried to log on through google but it wouldn't work. I tried every possible password I could think of but it didn't work.
I don't know what to do, please help. Thank you for your time.
- Good music
- Doesnt let me log into my account
Preferred solution: My account back
