> Storage isn't expensive, but managing files is a pain. Especially if you have to manage it across multiple devices. I just want to listen to some Nujabes, do I really have to care where it's saved, or whether I'm on my work PC, my laptop, or the media center downstairs? And that's before you get into the pain of syncing stuff onto your phone...

This sounds like a technological problem, and one that could be easily solved if someone put a little elbow grease into it.

Well, Spotify customers are clearly paying for the inconvenience of having Facebook have access to all their data as well. I'll take piracy over Facebook having access to my information any day.

And I don't know why people make piracy sound like such a difficult thing to do. It seems absolutely trivial to me.
