As I am listening to it right now? Spotify pays for the rights to songs. Some of the the ad revenue you generate, and the money from your premium subscription go towards music artists.Title: Re: Weird Al On Internet Piracy!

But I have spotify without ads and I did not purchased premium or pay for anything. So I refer to it as free music because it is uninterrupted streaming service without ads or others annoying things.
