Meme: Amphibian creature labelled “Spotify” emerging from a body of water, but being pushed back. Captions read: “Stop them! Don’t let a single company rule them all. If you see a Horrid Beast monopolizing, push it back in.”

      Didn’t you pirate the songs? I wouldn’t call that ownership.

      I just like Spotify and their discovery stuff. I wouldn’t enjoy having to find and download every single song I want to listen to. That would be a pain.

      Also, nothing is stopping me from pirating the songs whenever I want. It’s not like you “own” anything that I can’t also “own” the moment I decide to ditch Spotify.

      If you were actually buying CDs I would agree that you might have had a point (and a lot of cash because CDs are really expensive).
