HA! They can do whatever they wish to try to 'protect' their assets (themselves). They will ALWAYS be a target for hacks. Why? Because they are all bitches with way too much money.

Sorry, but there is no talent there that can't be found elsewhere.

If people buy Dr Dre Beats and other stupid shit, I'm sure $20 a month for these "artists" is nothing.

Definitely think there'll be some ddos'ing, and some disgruntled "fans".

so a small group of highly popular artists want to replace the spotify board of directors and enslave lesser artists with a contract probably no different from spotify?


no thanks.

Meh, nobody is being forced to switch. Their $10 price point is the same as Spotify's and delivers a similar product, with the biggest difference being the availability in each service's catalog. Right now you can watch all of Daft Punk's Electroma on Tidal. Spotify doesn't offer video as far as I know, and certainly not full length films.

The selling point of Tidal's $20 offering, for me anyway, is the lossless audio. I can finally stream shit from my phone or tablet straight to my receiver and get everything I want out of it. It's about being able to control the output to a higher degree, and with lossy formats that isn't possible. Yes, I know, you can't necessarily distinguish between 320kbps and 1411 FLAC with every piece of audio, but for me it's more about knowing I'm getting the complete unaltered data as the artist intended. How it sounds on my system is then up to me, not a codec.

Regardless, I don't give a shit how much money certain artists want to line their pockets with. If it means they keep making music I love, awesome.
