    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;User&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;/ Premium&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;United States&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The other day I noticed that I was able to share one of my local files from Spotify to Instagram, which I do not believe is supposed to happen. I took a closer look &amp;amp; realized that the artist I had imported (my brother's old band from ten years ago) now has their own profile with 3 monthly listeners (I saw 4 total including myself, two from Germany, &amp;amp; one from Finland).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm a bit concerned on how this happened as I'm certainly not paying to have their music up. They never signed to a label or anything &amp;amp; surely haven't put their music up on Spotify. I shared the artist page via text message with a friend &amp;amp; they were able to play the songs despite having no local files to match.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey there &lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/24720565"&gt;@Jenner001&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks for reaching out here in the Community, and welcome&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Would you mind sending over a screenshot&amp;nbsp;where we can see these Local Files and another one where we can&amp;nbsp;see how it looks when you share them?&amp;nbsp;You can attach them using the &lt;STRONG&gt;Insert Photos &lt;/STRONG&gt;option in the post editor, just make sure to exclude any personal info.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Also, could you provide the link to the&amp;nbsp;artist profile? We'll investigate further.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;We'll be on the lookout.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
