Questions: (1) Will we have to pay for Spotify service, and also pay for NFT? Depending on where the NFT is hosted, this could get quite costly for customers and be prone to degradations (e.g., blockchain hacking +/or collapse).

(2) Does each playlist come with a human-authentication sticker? I understand there is an authenticity assurance with NFT-backed songs/albums/playlists, so the move by Spotify makes sense. I hope record labels and artists alike leverage this for themselves as we move into AI-generated <everything>. I want the option to know I am listening to music created by humans, not deep-fake hijacks.

(3) In cases where AI-generated songs are "recorded" and released, will AI be granted writer/producer credits? If no, there's the everlasting issue of "it will remember." Unlike humans, AI may be better positioned to reclaim its value (monetary and otherwise).
