The comparison to Spotify is misguided because Spotify isn't selling you music -- you have no legal ownership of any music you listen to on Spotify. Spotifiy is selling you a subscription to listen to as much music as you want through their service. Whether or not there's music stored on local drives any more is irrelevant for Spotify because you don't own what's stored there anyway.
Personally, I'd much rather pay the monthly fee because I listen to much more music than I could ever buy in a conventional manner.

THey know they can't compare to the streaming services...even though they are 1:1 competitors in my view. P.S. You can buy music on Spotify as well, but it's not the core idea and I don't know any people that have. Though almost every person I know in Sweden pay for Premium.
