Spotify may not solve all of the music industrys challenges (except in maybe Norway and Sweden), but as long as radio stations did start to play the same 12 songs all day long, retailers started carrying 1.500 CD titles (how many these days?), and this service potentially can increase consumers average music spend (150 euros per year isnt very bad compared to before, especially when counting markets where people werent used to paying for music), and opening up promotion and distribution channels in the process, we should play the game with the cards weve been given. The payments from Napster and Pirate Bay werent very impressive, and I (and many more) lost independent label jobs because pirates thought they just punished the majors, and Ive started to be positive again.
