- sweeneyrod 7y agoThey can't, because they have a different business model. For TV content producers, consumers paying for content (with either dollars or eyeballs) is their main source of income. But for musicians, most of their money comes from playing live shows. So Spotify can be much more relaxed about revenue than HBO.

- hombre_fatal 7y agoWhat's the "way of Spotify" in your post? One single company toll-gating all content? That doesn't sound like the ideal to me.
- dannyw 7y agoMultiple companies having libraries of essentially all content. I can choose between Spotify, Apple Music, whatever Google rebrands their product to every month, etc.
