The music news last week was that Radiohead singer Thom Yorke pulled two of his albums from Spotify. In protest. Yorke believes that new artists and new small labels are getting far too little revenue from Spotify, "while shareholders will soon be rolling in," according to one of his tweets.
The idea of Spotify is as simple as it is elegant. Spotify is an infinitely large jukebox, which you can listen to whenever you are on the internet. Spotify earns its money in two ways: those who listen for free get commercials between songs. Those who take out a subscription for five euros a month can listen unlimitedly on their computer. If you pay ten euros you can also listen on all your mobile devices.
A model like Spotify is successful if almost all the music in the world is on it sweden mobile phone number list and if it has a lot of users. Note that the music is only listened to, not copied or transferred to a carrier. The listener can make favorite lists, can share his preferences with others, and can be alerted to new artists or albums based on his listening behavior. No possession, but use by means of a listening right.
