Blame the copyright holders aka the Big Four/Big Five: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_industry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_industry
Streaming services would gladly stream anything you want to you.
- mosselman 4y agoThat is still a downside of the system. Even when there is some external force at play. The BigFour/Big Five don't come into your house to take away your CDs.
- prmoustache 4y agoWho is to blame is irrelevant.
- rchaud 4y agoNah, I'll just blame Spotify. There are services that let you download to your local storage, whatever you buy from them. Bandcamp is the obvious example, but in the past there was eMusic and even iTunes. Spotify could do it, but they just don't want to. How else are they going to help themselves to your wallet every month? Sure streaming services want to give me anything I desire...anyhting except allow me to download an audio file that I can keep on my system. Then I wouldn't have to give a crap about whether Spotify still had the rights to it.
