Labels should start embracing Spotify, as the music streaming service has helped curb the illegal downloading of music. So a new survey on behalf of price comparison website,moneysupermarket.com says. Two thirds of those participating in the research and who illegally downloaded music, say they are using Spotify. The service would have encouraged them to reduce or quit their illegal downloading. The positive move towards Spotify will also be further been encouraged by the new Spotify iPhone application and the new ‘Monkey’ tariff from Orange, which allows users to stream music from the orange site as part of the tariff. That’s at least what moneysupermarket.com says.
