If you did the first thing, you’d be stupid, and in breach of your contract, just as if you shared it elsewhere. And it’d get taken down pretty quickly, algorithmically or not.

Ah, herein lies the devil in the details. The contracts may or may not specify worldwide distribution rights, may concern distribution rights in some countries only, may or may not leave leeway for the artist to distribute their own stuff etc. etc. etc. It's a legal minefield, and the big three love it.

  The contracts are long but clear (I’m on Universal).

    Yet somehow music distribution ends up being controlled by different companies in different countries for quite a lot of music. Especially for older music.
