It's like the big awakening of licence holders. Like someone finally explained to them what the internet is, how it works, etc. All around, things are starting to get re-structured in the way it worked in irl before. The same charges and middlemen.
The gates to the open internet are being closed and the registers are being set up.
We're also not a consumer anymore, but a subscriber. A subscriber can be traced, bound to your product for a lifetime.
I only hope that, unlike movies and series, big labels don't get the idea of starting their own music streaming services and end the licensing to all existing music streamers.
For now it's like Netflix in the old days. All streamers have about the same catalog in music.
