wasn't spotify started out as a collection of pirated songs? somethings go in full circle I guess.

  And also being the successor to Napster, the irony is thick with this quote: "Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy" Funny thing, I've met a lot of independent artists who don't care about piracy one bit. I have a feeling it's the record labels and large corporations, not the artists, making the biggest fuss over piracy.

    For an independent artist, exposure matters more than album sales as it leads to ticket sales. For large labels, exposure is a solved problem and album sales are all that matters. They are all trying to maximize revenue, they just have different ways of going about it.

  It's only "fairness" when Spotify does it.
