Spotify don't pull albums. Record labels does.

The way I solve it is to not listen to them if the record label pull the music. If they don't want my money I'm not going to give them any.

... sure, but the experience for the end user is the same: I can't listen to the music I want to on Spotify.
It doesn't matter who makes them disappear, the fact is that it happens, which makes the convenience of an all-streaming in-the-cloud solution not that ideal when it comes to media.

How does that help? If they don't want your money...they probably don't care you won't give it to them.

I've seen a couple independent artists pull their music from Spotify due to the poor proceeds they were receiving, or from a dislike of the revenue model. That may have been the case once or twice.
