If that is their argument, then it's pretty weak IMO.


They’ve listed all their arguments on their site www.timetoplayfair.com, although I wish some where more technically in-depth.


>I wish some where more technically in-depth

Or even just any legal depth. It's all just PR fluff speak.


www.timetoplayfair.com?! I have no sympathy for Spotify WRT "playing fair". Match Apple, or even better Google when it comes to paying artists, then we'll talk. They even discuss, as market leader, offering predatory pricing! The rest, as evidenced by Apple's response is seemingly misrepresenting the facts. To be fair, Spotify's marketing team have taken this straight out of the Steven P. Jobs play book; pick a fight.

Personally, I use Amazon Music because I get it as part of Amazon Prime. It has most of the music I want to listen to, but not all. I was considering Spotify, but with nonsense like this, this is one potential customer that they have lost.
