Last week we read how Apple implied/declared they invented high quality music downloads and are using terms in their paperwork like ''music like the artist intended'' as if it were new. I think I heard this at least as far back as 2004 ... Apple please give me a break, release your 24 Bit and make your money ... no need to pretend you started everything!
Spotify has competition from free streaming sites that use advertising for revenue and others like the French Qobuz whom are already providing CD quality streaming.
Google are being attacked for ''supporting'' pirate music with the UK music branch giving the example that if you search 'Adele' on google with their search engine, you get a long list of pirate sites giving her music away before the legitimate sites selling her music ...
What this article does show is that all the big guns are paying attention and that streaming is taking over and quality will be used for a competitive edge. The artists, on which the streaming-services music are built on will inevitably put their material on the services which pay them best and I imagine the super stars in the industry will soon or are already negotiating rates!
It's all good for us ;)
