Except the band has a legal right to determine who can legally use (read: license) their music
if they didn't license it (which they didn't), they have no legal right to use it and the band has every right to take it down. This is not "twitter" taking things down, this is the band using their legal rights as detailed in Copyright law.

Another thing in copyright law says that selective enforcement with copyright on the copyright holder part is completely okay. A copyright holder can't possibly go after every single infringement ever, so when they want to, they can. If they feel like it's not worth it, they don't have to. This is why a lot of infringements go unpunished. If you have a problem with this take it up with congress, not twitter.

Because your link doesn't seem to be working: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-poll/britons-would-now-vote-to-stay-in-eu-want-second-referendum-poll-idUSKCN1P006O
(Statistics in this post are scraped directly from this article)

The reason that the leave vote won in the first place was because of lies and misleading information on the part of the UKIP party. Keep in mind that's not coming from me, that's coming from the 6%(ish) of britons who voted for leave, but have since changed their mind. 6% may not sound like a lot but that's 3 times the margin by which leave won in the first place. It genuinely barely won, and since then, all of the consequences of the vote and clarifications on the final deal have made that 6% (many of which may have been undecided voters) change their minds, making the change quite significant.

Now, from the article you posted more britons (41% vs 36%) think that the decision starting now of whether or not to leave the EU should be put back up to the public, so I'm very doubtful of your assertion that people don't want another vote or that it's some sort of bad thing that people have to "fall for." By the most basic principles of democracy, what the people say goes. In addition, people's opinions naturally change over time and it's been a year and a half since the original leave vote. So saying that having another vote (whether to get an updated estimate of the people's will or to satisfy the will of the people, both basic democratic principles and very valid reasons to hold an election) is equivalent to dictatorship or killing democracy is off the walls silly.
