This strikes me as the audio equivalent of click fraud. Someone is paying for that silence...

  Agreed.. I can't imagine Spotify are happy about this!

    “This is a clever stunt, but we prefer Vulpeck’s earlier albums,” said Spotify spokesman Graham James. “'Sleepify' seems derivative of John Cage’s work.” I don't think they care, at this stage anyway. And probably never -- it doesn't scale as well as click fraud.

      At Spotify royalty rates it's cheap publicity.

      Equivalent of click fraud would be paying people in Africa etc $.0005 / track to listen to your Spotify silent tracks.

  Won't somebody think of the recording industry?
