I understand that this guy is trying to protect his business, but he falls into some arguments that, in my opinion, are the true problem with music. Artists create works that do not have, by itself, be paid for. Why? I can label myself artist and claim money from people? How does that work? The people have to judge if the artist deserves to be paid. In the modern world, the artist has many ways of collect income from his or her works, Spotify, crowdfunding, broadcast live events, and so on. But what this guy calls piracy is not harming artists, it harms an obsolete industry that only views a way to collect income. They sell records and collect money. This has nothing to do with the artist. Spotify, by itself, only perpetuates this way of operate, with its fixed prices and tight contracts with the major labels.
