Re: you are REALLY bombastic
To be fully accurate:
NY told Spotify to remove JR or to remove him - in an effort to silence JR.
I'm not sure it was a completely altrusive moment. He got very little revenue from Spotify, and his record label (well the majority owners of his music) had to agree. He stood to lose very little and got some notoriety from the whole dustup. It was probably a net + for him. JR had to make a mealy mouth statement about inclusiveness, and Spotify came out with some bs statement about "correct" information.
