That's funny, I haven't stolen music in over 10 years thanks to Spotify, but they haven't split all the music into 20 services or jacked up the price every year.
Granted they don't pay the artists, but that's not my problem.
And even the "they don't pay the artist thing" is somewhat defensible in that the record labels take a much larger cut than Spotify.
They're the main ones taking the money away from artists.
By far my main issue with Spotify is for giving massive paycheques to the likes of Joe Rogan
