I wonder if the publishing company that couldn't be reached and didn't return comment might have something to do with it, and I wonder if "Syntax Error" is an intentionally unsearchable name of a holding company that gives cover to publishers, so they can do this and blame Spotify and not get any heat on themselves.

I wonder about that, but it would be nice if there was a reporter who was willing to dig a little deeper and answer some of these questions.
