Yes, but in many, many countries people can't afford buying music in a scale people in the USA can, or can't at all. In my country, where people are not as wealthy as those living in Western Europe, for example, an album costs twice as much as Spotify Premium for a month. There's Spotify Free, too, so basically every person in the world having a mobile can contribute some money to the industry not even paying for music. That's exactly why streaming era is unstoppable and inevitable at this point.
