Major Music Studios Wants Less Free Music On Spotify

According to recent reports, major music studios are not happy with the amount of free music offered by Spotify. Their executives are concerned that ad-supporting ‘freemium’ streaming is not making enough cash and wants to limit the amount of free music to users.

The number of users tuning in via streaming services continues to rise, but if you listen to music through Spotify, Rdio, Deezer or one of the other services without paying, make the most of it while you can – it sounds like youll be facing tighter restrictions in the near future.
