There are a lot of people here who don't seem to have a problem with the bait and switch business Spotify is doing here.

As a former (paid) composer, I know how, pardon my words, the music industry is utterly fucked up today.

That said we shouldn't just be cool with what Spotify is doing. Let me put it this way, what is happening is similar to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Personally I don't think much of Spotify today, and hope that we go back to buying music on medias and owning the music purchases. That is the key, to bringing back some sense to the Music (and Game btw) industry.



This is obvious rent-seeking behavior, along with probable false advertising. I’m not sure people are fine with it.
