I was not able to make a copyright claim through the form for these songs as I am not the original rights holder for these songs. However, as a fan of the artist's work, I felt I had to make a post to let Spotify users not stream these songs as they are stolen and unauthorized re-uploads. I was unable to report via the Spotify Web Player (could not right-click these songs to report) nor from the online form. By posting this, I hope that Spotify would make easier ways to allow general users to mark songs as plagiarized within the Web Player and through forms. It's frustrating as a fan, and I'm sure to all artists, to see their music re-uploaded without permission.
The songs that are plagiarized:
https://open.spotify.com/track/2gdHpw0GFAqruwFkp2xwF1
https://open.spotify.com/track/3oF0qtO9po2EdUoJSrSI62
These two tracks are unauthorized, plagiarized re-uploads of Vocaloid producer Rohi - their official Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/c/%E3%82%8D%E3%81%B2ch) and official Nico Nico Douga (https://www.nicovideo.jp/user/20097010/mylist/23704891) accounts. The Nico Nico Douga account has Rohi's original uploads of each song - 孤独≒エゴイズム (Lonely Egosim) uploaded on 6/7/2012 and 隔絶≡タナトス (Lonely Thanatos) uploaded on 1/23/2013. In no shape or form does either of these accounts mention the user bikkoism or refer to them as being an official re-uploader and/or distributor of their music. The original songs - 孤独≒エゴイズム (plagiarized by bikkoism as the song kodoku) and 隔絶≡タナトス (which bikkoism calls kakuzetsu) are not on Spotify whatsoever. Rohi does not have an official Spotify account and their music should not be distributed by someone that isn't them. On Youtube, an upload of the song kakuzetsu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwtYcQUTpTQ) notes that the record company as '℗ 1442715 Records DK' which has no affiliation with Rohi. Their personal website (https://www.ろひ.com/) does not mention this company, nor do they have a Spotify page linked. The only ways Rohi's music has been posted are on their Youtube and Nico Nico Douga accounts.
Thank you so much for your time for reading and I really sincerely hope that these songs can be removed.
