Ah thanks for taking the time to explain. This makes sense.

I think this article is a little disingenuous. the record companies aren’t losing money, they’re losing market share. Many users simply weren’t listening to their music. Whether they were listening to the white noise is irrelevant. They WEREN’T listening to Taylor Swift, even accidentally.

I’m guessing this will cause Spotify to put time limits on playback (if they haven’t already)
