Maybe it is a discrepancy on who thinks that owns what.
Artists own their creations and maybe have the right of not wanting to call it their album if it is not shon as they want.
On the other side I guess they could just choose another platform and I am pretty sure that Spotify did because they think it is better for their business, whatever that means.
- sp332 5y agoArtists have certain rights, like copyright. But they do not literally own their creations if they have sold them. See "first sale doctrine" for example.

- otterley 5y agoThe “first sale” doctrine applies to physical copies of copyrighted works, not to licensed digital streams. You don’t get a physical medium with a streaming service, nor do you get a “copy” in the legal sense.
