Massive Attack has asked its label to remove its library from Spotify streaming services in all countries. The move is in response to Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek,  investing in military drones and AI tech in military fighter aircraft.  

The move comes on the heels of many smaller, independent artists boycotting the streaming service.  Massive Attack is, however, a big-label band.  That means they have to go through their label, Universal Music Group, to effect the change.

Massive Attack has almost 8 million listeners on Spotify per month.
