Pay the artists? (Score:5, Funny)
Is this guy nuts? Who gets paid for their work? Just steal it from TPB or someplace else.
Pfft. Getting paid for their work. How quaint. Move into the 21st century!

No surprises, Before our very eyes Spotify are destroying the music industry. I Reckoner lot of what Thom says here is like all I need to hear on the music industry. I mean anyone can play Guitar, but what gives Spotify the rights to Creep around grabbing all the Dollars and Cents. Hail to the thief is what they say, call the Karma police and arrest Spotify I say! Spotify and their ilk are a bunch of High and Dry Thiefs. We should Stop Whispering and Start Shouting from the hilltops. Just the Million Dollar Question will our ranting make any difference; we might as well right a complaint to the Daily Mail for what good it will do. I might be wrong, but I think I hear the Exit Music playing for all these up and coming new bands. We should all act as the Judge, Jury and Executioner and leave Spotify; Dropped by the roadside of history like so many Stuck Together Pieces of other peoples art.
