Since I have not read any agreement between Amazon or Spotify with any artist (or should I say any record producer), I cannnot comment on the matter exactly.


But I can guess.

Amazon and Spotify are platforms, and not record producers. And as such, getting correct license is responsibility for a record producer.

I assume any record producer will have to agree to use Amazon or Spotify platform that their records are legal and properly made to fit or be accepted whatever the distribution service provided by such platforms.

As far as my past experience with Amazon (or iTunes) goes, there have been always tools or setting which we could put certin regional restriction.

One might feel "they automatically do," but the fact is there would always be an agreement before any action or service by any of big platforms. Most of people don't read the agreement carefully.
