“Prominent artists such as Taylor Swift and The Black Keys have begun speaking out about this service, some even withholding their music from the service entirely, explaining that the payment model is unfair and that the service is cannibalizing album sales. Other artists praise the service for its ability to deliver a legal alternative to piracy, where artists can capture valuable information about their listeners and are compensated on a per-play basis.”

Streaming music allows you only the right to have controlled access to music, you need the internet and a Spotify account. Whether as if you bought a CD, that gives you the control to access the music whenever and wherever, provided you have a CD player or have ripped the CD to an iPod etc.

But by having a Spotify subscription, you have access to a wealth of music from the streaming catalog, at a price that gives more value for money (or none on a free trial) than one CD can provide.

When it comes to music the question of; what are recordings now? arises. The reason for this is that artists have began to hand out their music for nothing.

This saying appears to be a logical contradiction. Doesn't having something imply ownership of some kind?

If I say you can use my lawnmower whenever you want based on a monthly payment, would it really be true to say that you "have" it? Especially when it comes to something less tangible like streamed data. At least in the lawnmower case it can be at your place and you 'have' it there for a while, but this is not the case with music streaming services.

"Own Nothing. Be allowed to temporarily, borrow/use/have access, everything on our terms alone."

When my music collection first began and I only had a few CD's I cherished almost every song I had. The larger my collection grew the less sentiment I had for the music that was being added to my collection. My favorite music is still the same as it was nearly a decade ago which is largely to due the sentiment of of having less than I do now and therefore no I do not believe that the advertisement statement "Own Nothing. Have Everything." is a true statement.

I prefer "Own nothing, hate everything". That's what I misread the title as, so that's what I'm sticking with :)

of course you prefer that because that fits you to a tee. at least judging by your juvenile and angry posts. too bad. I feel sorry for you. I was once angry and had nothing like you. then I was angry and had a LOT of material and money wealth, but was still dead to sin. now I am Saved and have everything in Spirit and in God. But am once again poor for material goods. which means I am really very rich!! you wont like this and will insult me with your reply. hey..its OK. I have been there where you are. Angry and bitter because I prayed and God did not deliver what I wanted like a vending machine. I can tell you that He WILL bestow you Wealth but not the kind you used to ask for. The kind that lasts forever is what you can have. but first you need to get your heart right.

its not easy...I also had to die to do it. I hope you don't have to wait that long. if you ask God to remove your bitterness, though, that He will do, if you are sincere about it. I can guarantee you this. just watch.

Aha that's where you're wrong. I'm not angry, I'm perfectly happy knowing that when I die, I'm dead for good.. You're the poor bastard who has to worry about the wrath of your God and whether your wretched life is good enough to pass to heaven or not.

Enjoy those last few frightened moments of your life as death is folding around you and you realise you're ultimately alone- shame I won't be there to smile when it happens :)
