Deerhoof announced this afternoon that they are prepared to eliminate their Spotify music. This has been announced on social networks: “‘Daniel Ek uses 700 million dollars of his spotify fortune to become president of a military technology based on AI’ has not been a headline that we liked to read this week,” the statement begins.
EK is the spotify co -founder, but also of an investment fund called Prima Matter. This month, it has been made public that Prima Mat “dedicated around 700 million dollars to Helsing, a defense company specialized in the sale of military software enhanced by AI.
“We do not want our music to kill people and we do not want our success to be linked to a technological battle for AI,” says the US band. «Spotify is throwing himself by the toilet. Eventually, the artists will want to leave this already hated fraud that passes through a musical company. It is strange to users and shit for artists, ”they continue.
Deerhof clarifies that the withdrawal of his music from the platform will not be immediate, but it will be “as soon as possible.” They also take the opportunity to thank the support of their stamps, which have turned completely with the band’s decision. These also reassure their fans warning that it will not be “a great porrazo” for them, since they make much more money from the directs and have just signed a corporate collaboration with Dordash.
