Thanks for explaining, that makes a lot of sense.

BTW: If your firewall works on Snow Leopard and allows me to disable the P2P part of Spotify, I will buy it.

It works on SL, and I've heard people use it to block Spotify. There's a free trial, let me know if it doesn't work for you!

but does it just block the p2p part of spotify, and still permit the login and direct streaming?

If so that's a selling point right there.
