Spotify to Stream Movies

[floffypus]

It took years for Spotify to make profit. Besides the record labels; they also have a lot of investors who wants their fair share you know. They also had some MAJOR issues to get themselves introduced in the American market. They almost actually launched Spotify in U.S.A back in 2009, but Apple managed to convince a major part of the record labels how their concept was a bad idea, how it would only increase piracy etc... etc...

 

Eventually they managed to get established in U.S.A... but it was a tough fight. And it will be excactly the same if they try it with movies. All the compeeting companies will do everything they can to stop Spotify from getting any contracts from movie companies. Frankly, they will probably start like they started Spotify. First in Sweden and England, then France, Netherlands. Eventually USA.

 

But at the end of the day, some competition is always good for us customers and I welcome it, as long as they don't jeopardize Spotify itself and goes bankrupt.

 

Ofc it took spotify years to make profit since in the beginning spotify was free, free music no time limit. But i agree, spotify will have to fight hard to make it. But will take many years before they will have any good contracts which netflix probably will have before spotify which makes it alot easier to choose netflix!

 

I will pay for spotify and netflix trying to stop all the illegal download, but not till neither spotify or netflix have better movies to offer!

 

Till then i'll stick with what offers the best "TPB"

Spotify is free is it not? I have it on my computer and I listen to it all day if its not a album I have. So its no wonder thay make no profit. I see paying for it pointless due to me having so many albums I dont need it on the go. If they start making you pay to listen to music via your computer than I just wont use it. I dont think they have it planed out to well.

We only have to pay for music on our smart phones. Every thing else is free. We just get ads some times.

Used spotify on my phone, then they were like "Hey you can listen to the radio but to request you must pay" nope. But I'm interested to see how they do with streaming movies.
