“Spoken Giants is aiming for comedians to get “composition copyrights of spoken-word media (or literary rights)” similar to the way songwriters receive royalties for their music and lyrics.”
So, Spotify just kicked them all off the platform.
These people are the enemies of truth and justice, globally, and nothing they say should be believed. Absolutely nothing.
Pete Townsend from The Who said “I think the guy that runs it is a f*cking crook.”
The CEO of Spotify is worth ($)2.5 billion.
Meanwhile, all the artists are paid next to nothing, and everybody from Tool to Coldplay, to Taylor Swift has gone to war with Spotify over their unfair treatment of artists. Pink Floyd said this about Spotify, “those services (Spotify and other streaming services) should fairly pay the artists and creators who make the music at the core of their businesses. For almost all working musicians, it’s also a question of economic survival.”
The Black Keys has a great one, “if somebody’s making money then the artist should be getting a fair cut of it. The owner of Spotify is worth something like $3 billion… he’s richer than Paul McCartney and he’s 30, and he’s never written a song.

Once we signed that money out of the vault in Baghdad, it was up to me how to document that money was spent and where the money went…I had no requirement. Literally. I am not joking. No guidance and no requirement to provide documentation about where that money went.”
This guy seems to know his stuff.

Democratic Socialists of America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez transferred $160,000 in campaign funds to a slate that includes “CIA Democrats”—right-wing congressional Democrats with intelligence and military backgrounds.
In 2018, the WSWS published a three-part series by Patrick Martin detailing efforts by the military-intelligence agencies to flood the Democratic Party with loyal operatives.
Elizabeth Warren is pals with Hillary, with Wall Street thugs, and with this bitch…
