No Spotify didn’t publish these songs. Some loser made them and posted them on Spotify. Spotify doesn’t listen to every song that gets posted on their service in the same way YouTube doesn’t watch every single video that gets uploaded.

Published through DistroKid, probably. I'm not going to describe the process, and I don't know why anyone would want to invite potential legal trouble, but the capability is there.
