While the major labels are setting restrictive terms on Spotify, Spotify itself is turning around and treating independent labels like chumps: http://www.projekt.com/newsarticles/projekt-spotify.asp

From the article: "For a stream on Spotfy, on average $0.0013 is paid to Projekt's Digital Distributor." That means an artist would have to get one million airplays to make $1300.

I'm finding it hard to sympathize with Spotify if that's the terms they set when they have the position of power.
