If it's a commentary about how when people don't actually buy the album there's something lost in the process, then yes, I absolutely can get behind that. But I'd challenge the idea that paying for the full album on iTunes or wherever online is somehow a replacement for owning the physical record. My father tried his best to make me a music purist, bestowing on me a pretty amazing collection of vinyls and those things are great...to pull out the cover and actually read the names of the people involved in creating that record...that has value, sure. But after Napster and iTunes, I was curious about the anti-spotify move from a business perspective.
