Spotify is getting sued for 1.6 billion $.
What's your opinion Sup Forums?

t Fantano poster

lol when are these old dinosaur representatives gonna realise their old model is dead? get rid of Spotify and we all go back to pirating. end of. earn some money off the backs of dead people or earn none, it's your choice niggas.

That's ultimately why they are trying to clamp down on internet accessibility at the ISP level and why net neutrality is such a big deal.

bring back grooveshark!
Nah, actually, fuck this streaming bullshit, bring Audiogalaxy back.

hopefully after my $1 a month thing ends

lol nothing will stop piracy or the internet

Im glad i stuck with apple music [spoiler];^)[/spoiler]

i wish all streaming would disappear so i could justify buying CDs.

do you also wish to get cucked by Tyrone?

>being this much of a cunt
hahaha just buy cds if you want to asshole

i am not sure what message you are trying to convey with those words my friend

why can't you justify buying CDs, faggot?

cuck

because streaming is more convenient than using CDs

>paying the greedy merchants

By who? For what?

>he thinks streaming isn't compressed as fuck

>he has bat ears

No, I listen to my own compressed 320 rips, but it's nice to have the lossless tracks if you really like the music. You notice the difference with a proper audio setup.
Now excuse me while I rejoice in between all my boxsets and limited press releases in physical form, ya pleb.

Apple music gang

Your medal is in the post, enjoy carting that shit about when you have to move and ruining it all.

Some random claiming distribution rights. I think they're saying spotify only obtained the artist copyright or whatever. That would allow spotify for example to make a commercial or a movie but not distribute it for sale or rent.

soulseek dude

Thanks.

or when he leaves his parents' house

By some Californian company that collects royalties. Supposedly Spotify incurred in copyright infringement.
But 150k for each song (out of 10000) looks like a shit ton of money just for this.

No prob. I think they're saying that spotify needs to obtain the same sort of licensing agreement as if they were pressing records.

Why would you "ruin it all" when you move?
I moved like 5 times and my collection is intact.

My house is full with stuff I actually use nigga, no more room for plastic shit.

Why won't you kids buy music?

Why wont you grampas sell it at the prices you said you'd sell CD's at in the beginning?

$18.99?

>and this generation plead poverty

You should be happy you have piracy and streaming and abundance, you wouldn't want to go back to the past before the internet.

Why not? It worked fine.

...

>i'm so unhappy i have the world's biggest library in front of me!

>I'm so happy, I have too much music to listen to and I don't understand the context of any of it!

>i'm making assumptions about someone who grew up very poor and now appreciates every byte they can download!

don't care

>whaaa I'm so poor I can't afford luxury items!
OK?

I don't know if they have the money

That's not what he said, are you retarded by any chance?

I'll be rich in Heaven, nigga.

I'm not poor, dumbass.

>That's not what he said
Read it again
Then there's no problem for you to pay for luxury items.
I don't care

checked. Get a bigger room nig.

Grew up poor =/= is poor now.
Thank you for awnsering my question.

>paying the greedy merchants
Maybe you want to fill their coffers, I don't.

good thing i switched to apple music

...

>he pays rent
>he hasn't built his own house
Good goy

>Grew up poor =/= is poor now.
When did I say he was poor now?
Why wouldn't I want to reward artists for making art I like?
>I don't.
Then don't listen to their music.

I don't rent, goyim.

You go reward 'artists' then. I'll listen to what I want and do what the fuck I want, keep crying over it.

>I'll listen to what I want
Wow you are hardcore as fuk.

as long as it keeps working4 free, who cares

>reward artists

Hope crApple Music is next so Tidal can have a monopoly on this streaming shit
