    Spotify is just trying to get out of playing Canadian content to Canadians. When we listen to a Spotify “radio” we’re expecting random but themed music, like we get from a radio station. What we don’t get is Canadian content. The Canadian content requirements exist because we’re attached to a very big exporter of culture and music. It’s important to keep our music scene alive in the face of pressure from American artists and American media networks.

    If Canadians don’t listen to Canadian music who will?

    I don’t see why not. The only difference between how most people use Spotify and the radio is that on Spotify it’s an algorithm and not a person. The majority of users are just using generated playlists anyways.

    I do agree the rules need to be for for the medium

    But Spotify is pretty big to cry victim the way they do and have been for years
