I do understand what can happen (I'm an IP lawyer), but this basically requires enabling spotify to act as your attorney, since they still do not in fact own the rights, even with this.
You can't manufacture standing here - only folks who are exclusive rightsholders can sue. Period.
So it would require giving them power of attorney enabling them to sue on your behalf, since you (or whoever) still own the exclusive rights .
I strongly doubt their contract terms have this in there, it would be fairly shocking.
I say this having seens tons of these kinds of contracts, even with spotify, and never seeing something like this.
