Not disagreeing with your point, but just because spotify isn't tied to an already-huge company doesn't make them more of an underdog. They already have a much larger subsriber-base than all the other music services, and it's clear to me from seeing the way people act and their choices in what they do that, similar to netflix, it's bound to succeed despite all the armchair analysists pointing to graphs with lines pointing down.

Also, I'm curious, what issue do you take with exclusives? Do you also find fault in netflix, hulu, and amazon creating media and making it exclusive to their service?
