I was just thinking .. So say If Jay, Bey, taylor rihanna etc become exclusive to Tidal but say Katy, Gaga, Adele(Couple of more big acts) become exclusive to spotify what would happen?
Would both companies decline..?
Would people go back to illegally downloading?
E.T.C
I can't imagine people having both spotify and tidal at the same time
What do you think would happen if half of the acts became exclusive to Tidal whilst the Other half became exclusive to Spotify?
It will be a mess and won't resolve the problem. People will just listen to the songs they want on youtube or illegaly download them. Every artists will get ****ed up. It will be the end of streaming, legal digital downloads and physical. The industry will collapse.
These artists doing this exclusive **** are just ****ing themselves over. Most of the GP don't give a **** about them or their crappy, uninspired music at the end of the day.

Beyonce, Taylor and Jay-Z for example who would probably be Tidal exclusive do 'crappy, uninspired' music? the GP doesn't care about them?
1. Jay-Z (and friends) remove their music from Spotify and launch exclusive material on Tidal
2. More artists outside of his direct influence join the cause
3. Members of Spotify leave to join Tidal
4. Threatened, Spotify agrees to lower prices for members/offer better benefits AND better payouts to musicians
5. Artists go back to Spotify and Jay-Z sells Tidal to someone else
I see it going down like that. I don't think Tidal is gonna win, and if it does it's going to need a LOT of artists to support it and sign a contract to not go back to Spotify if Spotify offers better rates (got'cha clause).
