Yeah, correct on my point, if that's the case. I suppose it's much like piracy in a way - would people have bought the album if it wasn't for spotify? Is every spotify listener a lost sale? I have absolutely no hard facts to back it up, but I see a lot more people attending festivals and shows and supporting artists in different ways. I know a lot of spotify subscribers who use it for work and still buy the MP3s for their ipod, or the CD for their collection. I have hundreds and hundreds of CDs, all in storage. I buy them occasionally at shows but tend to buy vinyl (if I can) to support a band now. I listen to lots of music on Spotify I would never buy, or never have bought. For a fair few of those I'd probably go and see the artist/band live, though.
