What you have to remember is the record labels ALSO own a chunk of Spotify.

I would think that should be highly irrelevant.

If they have invested in Spotify, then they are just securing their place in case Spotify (or Spotify-like services) displace the old model. It doesn't mean that is going to make any difference in the change of business model when it happens.

If they have too much control in Spotify, someone else will start a new service/label. OR bands will just self produce.

I love the digital age.
