To be fair, it does look like Spotify has clearly been selective with the facts in it's original post. Ok.
None of this response addresses the main question raised by the Spotify letter which is: "Is Apple abusing it's position as platform holder to grow it's own products over it's competitors?". Their silence on this, the core issue, speaks volumes.
No doubt a lot of people reading Apple's letter (and many in the media) will be taken in by the empty rhetoric around helping musicians and forget that the main story is about Apple's ability to monopolize media through the iPhone, and whether it has attempted to do so.
As far as this story goes I could not care less about Apple or Spotify (and I'm a customer of both).
I care about whether laws are being broken that exist to protect me from price gouging in the future.
