That's what they are telling the world.
And who is spreading the word? Torrent Geek. Torrent Shit. Whatever they call themselves. The website that has championed FREE as in STEALING, has given SPOTIFY a platform to bullshit the world.
"Hey everyone, as long as we can fuck the musicians with our penny ante payments, we're keeping down piracy!"
You believe that crap?
Of course not.
The answer to piracy is LAW. It's being able to shut down asshole websites, destroy the Paypal accounts of "tip jar" jerks, and making sure that anonymous fuckheads can't upload stuff without stating "under penalty of perjury" that they OWN the rights.
Put it this way, a friend of mine, who has put out many major-label albums and had the world chuckling and applauding one MTV video in particular, said: "I'd love to take ALL my music off Spotify."
Anyone who signs a crippling deal to allow their music on Spotify is likely to regret it. The royalty checks are miniscule. The insult to minor indie artists is that they make enough to have dinner and a movie once a MONTH. That's NO WAY TO EARN A LIVING. Mid-level artists (that you've heard of) fare little better, and we all have seen how big time rappers and artists of every genre have screamed, "How come I have the #1 song and millions of plays, and I get a shitty check for chump change?"
SPOTTY PIE is not the answer. Only slimy torrent-loving cheat-appreciating "stealing isn't sharing" turd-heads and greedheads think otherwise.
