I felt guilty using Xbox music when it was free... But it ain't like the worst r getting a decent cut, though.

they can't give us spotify and then take it away.

Music is worthless now as a retail product. It's over. Revenue can only come from related services like concerts, merchandise and other services.

these labels just mad that people can go that indie road, get popular through social media for free and then get cashed out doing club appearances at $3-10k a pop and not have to rely on a label
