Wow, I didn't know this about Spotify! Too bad there's no opt-out. I actually like the social aspect of Spotify (seeing what my friends listen to often introduces me to new bands) but it's a shame I can't limit the selling of that data. Hell, I'd even pay for the right to keep my data to myself!
- juststeve 9y agoYes I do too, some quick searching says that spotify pays the record companies monthly, around 50-70% of revenue for the music licensing. however there seems to be a serious distinction between free subscriptions and paid. Because free users are getting music for free, this seems to be where the Spotify Group may be packaging up and selling data to music companies or elsewhere to pay for hosting, salaries etc. I guess the opt out is to disconnect your facebook from spotify; Or, create a new separate spoitify account. But, because your billing/email settings would be the same.. it's would be easy to join/coalesce the account data in the backend. or just buy cd's
