I really don't think spotify gas much to worry about. Pirating music has been a thing since long before Spotify hit the stage. Spotify's strength (and what I pay for) is convenience. Even if I had a personal library with all the music annas-archive pulled down, I still think I'd keep paying for Spotify as long as it remains easily accessible on all my devices.

I agree. In the early 2000s I spent an absurd amount of time hunting down mp3s, tagging them, organizing them, and burning backups. Looking back, it was a ridiculous amount of effort compared to streaming. Once Spotify came around I was hooked. It’s still worth it to me even with the occasional price hike.

Having worked in streaming media and entertainment for the last several years, I am solidly convinced that most of the streaming media services are built by people who essentially turned the tools they built to manage their pirated libraries into a saleable product :P
