Musicians plan to take away their tune from Amazon to protest its ties with ICE

Musicians plan to take away their tune from Amazon to protest its ties with ICE                                                                                     A group of musicians and activists is calling for artists to tug their tune from Amazon’s tune streaming provider till it ends its ties with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), as noticed by way of Stereogum. The group, No Music For ICE, changed into shaped under the nonprofit advocacy organization Fight for the Future remaining month, to begin with asking artists to sign a pledge to boycott acting at Amazon-subsidized activities.

Now, in a brand new letter, No Music For ICE is looking for artists to move one step similarly and take away their tune from Amazon’s streaming service, starting on Black Friday and continuing thru “the vacation purchasing & travel season, whilst track sales are often at their height.”

In the letter, the group says it’s going the route of takedowns to be able to “[kick] Amazon where it already hurts”:

Amazon is aggressively trying to compete within the song sales and streaming markets, with blended outcomes. Based on some numbers for predominant “rock” acts an industry insider shared with us lately, Amazon Streaming accounted for only around 4% of first week streams. Amazon MP3 digital income equated to 3% general of album sales, apart from ticket/album bundle sales. Pulling down your music kicks Amazon in which it already hurts, and it’s smooth to do.

No Music For ICE has four needs of Amazon: terminate existing contracts with ICE and different authorities businesses with alleged human rights abuses; prevent offering cloud services to businesses that power deportations; quit initiatives like Amazon Ring’s surveillance partnerships with police; and “reject any destiny engagements with such horrific actors.”

Amazon doesn’t without delay have a address ICE, but it does have a cope with the Department of Homeland Security.                                                                     Amazon Web Services hosts DHS databases, which might be then used to tune down immigrants.

Artists like Atmosphere, of Montreal, YACHT, Zola Jesus, Deerhoof, and The Black Madonna signed on to Fight For The Future’s initial petition to boycott Amazon-backed activities, which arrived in the wake of an uproar over Amazon announcing its first tune pageant, Intersect Festival. Hosted via Amazon’s cloud computing and internet web hosting division, Amazon Web Services, Intersect Festival is about to occur in Las Vegas on December sixth and seventh, with acts like Foo Fighters, Beck, and Kacey Musgraves. Several artists voiced problem, pronouncing they had been now not aware the pageant turned into hosted by means of Amazon once they signed on. Amazon says the association became noted numerous instances within the reserving paperwork.

Fight for the Future says artists which include Downtown Boys and Remember Sports have already requested Amazon to take their tune down.
