the spotify/streaming debate continues. for the record, my feelings on the streaming model have not changed. which is to say i don't like it. i appreciate the ability to stream music i haven't heard before in order to determine whether i like it and want to purchase, but i just don't think it's fair not to pay a band (or label or whatever) money upfront for their art (or more accurately, product). the "micropayment" model would not be acceptable in any other commerce situation, so i don't understand why we allow it here.
