Until they decide to silence the artist you want to listen to because emperor god trump decides to unperson them.

Putting what music you listen to in the hands of a US corporation is such a dangerously stupid idea that it is amazing to me that there are people here who are OK with it.

>I think Spotify wins over pirating because of its relatively low cost and convenience

Spotify isn't "convenient" if you want to control and understand the media and software in your life. https://www.defectivebydesign.org/spotify

Thankfully Spotify isn't primarily a U.S company.
