I use Spotify too. I'm a user from back in the days when they shared their friends music libraries. I kind of like Spotify, but I think it is important not to see any of these services as the be-all and end-all of digital music distribution solutions.
That is exactly how Spotify is presented here in Sweden. While Spotify is losing money, the politicians brag and tell us how they suddenly found the "cure" for illegal filesharing.
We have to be realistic and not place all our bets on one horse. There is no single solution to media on internet and Spotify is no different. The internets = multitude. And, therein lies the beauty.
