Funny, I know a couple who think that Spotify is the worst thing to happen. Streaming, especially at Spotify's rates, might as well be piracy. The income's no different.
- smaudet 4y agoAt least in the piracy model you don't have a badly made app between you and your music. You should still buy the album if you care about it, even with streaming.

But alot of the music I listen to is "mainstream" and made by artists that are already raking in cash, not saying that they don't deserve the same compensation, but I feel exponentially less bad that Taylor Swift is making $0.0005 per stream rather than some indie artist trying to make it.
