I agree with you. Either this thing leaves music ownership behind completely (in which case you stop worrying about people putting music on their iPhones / iPods once and for all) or you don't. If Spotify get stuck in the 'but what if someone gives someone else 8Gb of tunes...?' worry-zone, then they will miss this boat. Someone could give someone else 48hrs of free digital TV content if they really wanted to, couldn't they? But who can be bothered to? Spotify proves that the majority of record companies understand that they the 'physical music product' is almost history. In my view, Spotify has to be bold enough to argue that unless the service includes 'temporary' ownership via mp3 (me putting stuff on my iPhone for a journey) then it won't work. Or, worse, it WILL work but via long-winded and illegal 'work-arounds' like using Audio Hijack Pro. Hi Hal
