With torrent sites existing, the real value of music recordings is zero dollars.

Another way to look at Spotify is actually trying to recover some of this money for artists.

I never liked Spotify, most music I listen to is not available there, you have to login/make an account of someone wants to share a song with you (pfff) and ofcourse the total bs about 'paying artist' while pirating music themselves[0]. This is just a company interested in making a profit [1]. Nothing more nothing less

From what I was reading Daniel Ek made tons of money before Spotify.

I heard that Spotify doesn't make a profit.

What music do you listen to that’s not on Spotify?
