Magnus Uggla, you’re an idiot.

Magnus Uggla decided to remove his songs from Spotify, saying he’s not earning enough freaking money from it. Guess what idiot! You’re not making any more money removing them from Spotify either, you greedy bastard! All you’re doing is working against the flow. Sure, maybe you’re not making much money having your stupid songs on Spotify, and fine, maybe Sony Music sold out. But now, when there’s a legit option, and by legit I mean legal AND something that the general public is actually embracing, and to that, a fantastic innovation and step towards a new way of getting media to the public. Now you’re just being stupid.

Or is it that you just needed some exposure in the media? You felt you hadn’t been appreciated enough lately? Because as of 1am Friday morning the 14th of August 2009, I’m still seeing your songs on Spotify. I dunno man, it just feels so incredibly stupid. You say you actually think that Spotify is a good thing… But that you’d rather be raped by TPB than ass f##ked by Hasse Breitholtz and Sony Music. How does this compute? Who are you punishing here? Seems to me you’re punishing yourself and your fans.

Sony Music sold out money wise you say, and that the shares ordeal seems shady. But then again, doesn’t Universal Music, Warner Music and EMI also own shares in Spotify? And didn’t they also pay close to nothing? We should just remove all artists signed by these labels from Spotify, don’t you think? We should just “wait for an honest internet service”… Define honest dude. “The way it used to be”? Sure, Mr. Bob Dylan removed all his shit from anything that’s digital, but hey… he’s way old… wait… is that it? Tell me… Should users pay 199 SEK for a shitty DRM-killed e-album for you to be happy? Yeah, that’s they way to “beat” piracy… Why not just turn off the internet. Close the tubes of the internets.

Lastly, would Sony agree to remove your songs? How does this affect their deal with Spotify?
