Mixed Responses to Spotify and Other Streaming Applications Continued

Yes

No

Taylor Swift

-"I just don't agree with the perception that music has no value and should be free"

-her decision to remove her music from Spotify was based on her reluctance to "contribute her life's work to an experiment that does not fairly compensate artists, writers, producers, and other music creators"

Nico and Vinz

-"Streaming to me is — you know, to an artist right now, it’s a blessing, because you’re able to reach so many people with just you putting a song out on the Internet and it can go from there."

-"I think it’s a perfect way for new artists, too, to get their music out."
