The fact that spotify has DRM is inconsequential to it, and those like it stomping out a ton of music piracy. It's all about the distribution model, and the DRM is just to make the rights holders happy.

But Spotify is a native app.

It can have all the drm it wants. It's not part of the open web.

I always listen to spotify through web browser. I think it uses flash then.
