Each one with their poison-pill agreement. Spotify will shut its doors just like Napster, Playlist, iLike, MOG, and so on, and so forth. New suckers are born every year, all unaware of the inevitable, it seems.

The difference between these services and Apple is that Apple doesn’t do streaming, they sell tracks. Period.
