Spotify will invite musicians to compete for publicity by cutting their tiny share of the company's income.

Let's spit out Spotify! We need a system where people can easily and anonymously donate to musicians; GNU Taler can be the base for that.

And we should share copies of music, regardless of what anyone says. In order to share a copy, you need to have a copy. That is another reason to refuse to listen via Spotify, or any other streaming dis-service.
