SvD: Is growing artist discontent a risk for Spotify?

Lorentzon: No, Spotify’s risk comes from other things.  And I have zero understanding of the complaints.  Just look at the amount of money we’re paying out.  It isn’t crumbs.

“We’ve reversed a music industry in freefall through blood, sweat, and tears, and we’re handing money back to the record industry.  All the while, music has been completely free to steal or do whatever you want with it, from the Pirate Bay, SoundCloud, Youtube or Grooveshark.”
