> If there's no value to curation then people wouldn't bother copying the lists Yes. And since they (MoS) are obviously earning _something_ from selling their compilations there must be _some_ value in there. (I assume there are tracks from different labels on said compilations, otherwise they should just be happy about their Spotify revenue.) > Is what they do valuable enough to warrant protection? Is it "art"? It is a tough question, but answering with "yes" gets you on a slippery slope. Are MoS going to pay up if (by chance) a Spotify user made a playlist a month ago that exactly matches their next release?
