Spotify is technically legal but still bad (in my opinion). A song on Spotify is downloaded in little bits so you never have the whole song sitting on your hard drive. Only little bits that are then deleted once that section of a song is over. However, you (the listener) are still enjoying music without paying the artist. Not trying to preach or get holier-than-thou. Just trying to explain the situation, at least as I understand it. Bottom line: if you enjoy music, pay for it. Peter Sent from my iPhone.
