Music and movies are not substitute goods. Ignoring piracy, if you have an exclusive on some content, the fans of that content will come to you instead of choosing some other work to consume.

Movies yeah, but music is totally a substitute good to me. If you aren't on Spotify, I'll listen to something else...
