True that the full win was due to copyright enforcement by various actors.

However, in the early days of Spotify the ”play any song with a click” was pure magic and nothing piracy could compete with.

A fun anecdote from that time is also that basically the whole Spotify catalogue was full of pirated music — they had not yet secured any music rights and I personally thought they never would succeed with that.

The early days of napster felt like that (with a diminished experience due to lower speed connections). Not to take anything away from your point.

Yeah, I agree. Having one place with a huge music library and downloads in parts of minutes was magic.. :)
