A lot of the furor over the hateful conduct policy came because the two artists removed from promotion on the site are not convicted on any charges as of yet. Kelly has been exonerated on charges in the past, and XXX's case is still pending trial . XXX's publicist asked if Spotify planned to also withdraw their promotion from several other artists, some convicted by courts of crimes and some not. Additionally, no consideration seemed to be given to below the line production on tracks. What will Spotify do with major hits by Beyoncé that were produced by Detail , who is accused by two women of rape and another of sexual assault? Should Kesha's songs produced by Dr. Luke all be removed from promotion by the service , leaving her to be punished for his actions? (Dr. Luke denies all charges against him by Kesha.) Should all of the artists who owe their success to music executives like Charlie Walk and L.A. Reid , both accused of sexual misconduct, be removed from promotion?
