NPR - Are We Witnessing the Beginning of the End for Free Music Streaming?

This week, Spotify bowed to Universal's demands that they withhold certain albums from the free tier of listeners.

Spotify has always been absolutely useless for my particular music needs, but I understand that it is a major player in how people consume music. The pressures of the Copyright Royalty Board, coupled with Spotify's deal with Universal, Warner, and Sony Music threaten the longevity and functionality of the free and ad-supported listening tier.
