Spotify Again Spotify

Of course you can say you love Spotify for its app, recommendations and "especially for YOU" created content. But this article from the Blitzed! magazine should at least being of interest for some about this "legally" stealing company.

Spotify is the absolute worst company in the streaming market. I will never use Spotify or support them in any way. Daniel Ek told everyone all they needed to know (in more than arrogant fashion) when he said that the cost of creating content was "close to zero", enraging artists and music fans everywhere with that rather matter of fact and very inappropriate/out of touch comment.

The fact that Ek is sitting on a personal fortune of $7.7 billion while artists struggle to make any money from streaming tells you all you need to know about that company and it's jerky CEO, they need to be boycotted but unfortunately there are too many clueless fanboys for that to likely ever happen at scale.

I'm no fan of Spotify or their horrible business practices. That said I would like to point out the irony of complaining about "legally" stealing when you republished a magazine article here for all to read without compensating the publisher or author. Good read though. Peace.

My company lawyer months ago pointed out that as long as I own a paid copy and I do use it for private reasons it should be ok. If he is wrong I am guilty of many such issues. But of course you are right. Especially Spotify (and one or another company more) is a matter of heart for me. So I take the risk
