A prominent artist in the music industry, Marc Mysterio, has publicly appealed to global superstar Taylor Swift. He is urging her to remove her entire music catalog from Amazon Music until the platform resolves what he claims is an intentional campaign of withholding royalties and digital suppression. Mysterio, who is currently engaged in a federal lawsuit against Amazon Music and DistroKid (Case No. 1:25-cv-01705), asserts that he is owed significant compensation for over 80 million streams, including nearly 4 million attributed to Swift’s Amazon Music station. His appeal stems from their mutual acquaintance, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, through whom he hopes to connect with Swift and rally her support against Amazon's alleged practices.

Central to this controversy is Marc Mysterio's claim that Amazon Music has failed to compensate him adequately for his work while imposing a shadow-ban that has disconnected him from his substantial fan base of 1.25 million listeners. The crux of his argument lies in leveraging a personal connection through their shared friend, Jeff Jarrett, who previously interacted with Swift during her early years in Nashville. This friendship could serve as a bridge to unite Swift and Mysterio in addressing the issue of artists' rights on streaming platforms.

Mysterio emphasizes Swift's history of advocating for artists' fair treatment, citing her previous actions such as supporting Kesha in her legal battle against Sony Music and Dr. Luke. He believes Swift can leverage her influence by withdrawing her catalog from Amazon Music, thereby pressuring the platform to rectify its practices concerning unpaid royalties and unjust bans. Mysterio further elaborates on his demands, which include full payment for all streaming activities related to his ASIN "B0041A1P4U," immediate removal of the shadow-ban affecting his visibility, and establishing direct communication channels with Swift via Jarrett.

Historically, Swift has demonstrated her commitment to artists' rights by pulling her music from Spotify in 2014 due to royalty disputes. Mysterio draws parallels to this precedent, hoping Swift will adopt a similar stance against Amazon Music. Legal proceedings initiated by Mysterio's team have resulted in preservation letters being served to Amazon, demanding detailed metadata and logs tied to his ASIN. Despite partial acknowledgment from Amazon regarding his "Related Artists" section restoration, Mysterio insists that these measures fall short of resolving the broader issue of suppression.

As discussions continue, Swift remains unresponsive to Mysterio's call, leaving the fate of this potential alliance uncertain. Meanwhile, Jeff Jarrett has yet to comment on the situation. The outcome hinges on whether Swift will choose to engage in this fight for artists' rights alongside Mysterio, potentially reshaping the landscape of music streaming platforms and their obligations towards creators.
