Spotify Already in Legal Battle

[AeonicSlumber]

Is there really a connection to major labels? As far as I'm aware it was just founded by some tech dudes. Otherwise, I figured they would have had an easier time making deals with those major labels (themselves?) What exactly is a "major label dude in Sweden" anyway? Is that like a ski-jumping champ in Mali?

I should rephrase: Daniel Ek, a tech dude, is the Mark Zuckerberg to Spotify's Facebook. So yeah, he STARTED it, but Swedish majors had a huge influence in its beginnings, and really if it wasn't for them, it wouldn't have come into fruition.

While it's true that Universal Sweden isn't as big as Universal USA, etc, those companies are obviously connected, and no doubt, Swe can access USA's lawyers if needed.

Oh I'm sure, NPR rules. I meant Cherion who wants patents abolished apparently. They are illegal enemy combatants that want to kill us and rape our women in the name of their false patent god "Patentous".

Patents aren't illegal enemy combatants. Though they could be in beautiful prose.
