Spotify isn't bricking it. Tech journalists incorrectly proclaimed it as 'bricked' because Spotify wasn't releasing any details or software. Turns out the details and software are already available.

That may not mean "bricked" by a technical hacker's definition, but I think that's "bricked" by the definition of 98% of people who bought the thing.
