That is not accurate Spotify is a choice on your behalf. You can pay their monthly fee and get access to their entire library for as long as you pay them Or you can buy the mp3s own them forever from apple/amazon/etc. The artists never continue to ask me to pay them. Personally, I find it better to buy the mp3s. I'll use spotify or pandora and put up with the ads when I want to discover or whatever
