Spotify as musical anthropolo
Status:
Case Closed
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason Spotify is able to connect to a song almost instantaneously, is because it's gathering the song data based on a P2P configuration, loading parts of the song from people's computers (who have the song) based on proximity to the streamer.
Why not just open up this potential network to all audiofiles - music, samples, etc - and let music forgotten in history, music made by unknown/amatuers, and let the people/business entities take it down, like they already do to blogs. I'm imaging that this giant network of content, will replace the the need to pirate anything, since it will all exist in the cloud of Spotify (an easier platform to police content). Imagine people curating playlists of music/sounds they've uploaded (based on quality control guidlines) that end up making forgotten artists money, or atleast give them exposure they never had. Let's face it, the RIAA is here to protect the labels, which are a dying or evolving mediary, and not the artists. The community protects the artists.
Or if this is too scary, why not just connect Spotify to Soundcloud and drop the fee's to upload music?

That sounds simple but is in fact not possible. Spotify needs the right to play every song that is on Spotify. While a lot bands might appreciate it, there can't be a general rule about it and new licencing would need to be worked out first.
