anyone who pays a subscription to Sky, but won't cough up for Spotify is either really fucking stupid, or deaf.
Spotify don't carry the majority of my musical tastes as I'm wikkid underground, so therefore it is a bag of shite.
You can get an exception too then I suppose, although I still think it deserves buying into on principle.
The principle of paying Leona Lewis some more pennies? GTFF.
As you very well know, the principle of establishing that a massive music catalogue can safely be made available to the 'pirating masses' and that if you make it good enough, and easily accessible enough, and charge a reasonable fee, people

If Spotify becomes a massive commercial success (which admittedly looks unlikely now), it opens the doors to doing the same with films, games, books, television archives, you name it - the technology is already there, it's just that the companies who own the copyright on all the material don't think there's any money in it, and it looks like they may well be right
