> And that makes them irrelevant? Negligible? Insubstantial? The context? Did you pay attention? The prices are rising, the service is getting worse. You know...the topic. > You're more than welcome to try and start your own music service on those terms and see how far you can get with free/cheap offering. There are alternatives which somehow manage not only to provide a proper service, they even offer FLAC DOWNLOADS. Can you imagine that? Give it a try: https://bandcamp.com/ https://bandcamp.com/ > Spotify pays the rights holders. Who in turn pay artists. I've never seen the fake outrage directed at Warner Music Group, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment. What is this derailing? Why should I rage on them? Do they own Spotify? Are you from the marketing department because I barely see the topic with all that smoke and mirrors here. > To "know that" you'd first have to know more than zero about streaming, licensing etc. Serving this level of arrogance after that cheap derailment show is hilarious. You, however, still fail to move away the spotlight from that hilariously small amount of money you pay. It's not even a secret. You can google it up. You work for a greedy example of a service which needs to die.
