The main selling point of Popcorn Time is that it allows to watch movies more easily than solutions that asks money for that. I don't think music industry has this problem — there are services like Spotify, Rdio and many more that offers painless listening. That aside, the app looks really polished and I'm glad it has Linux support backed in.
However, unlike Popcorn Time, this one is closed source.

do you find that your ROI for your albums has significantly decreased in recent years due to piracy or products like this?

Spotify randomly deleted my offline library on android. Of course when I was traveling and didn't have a data plan.
Canceled my premium subscription a month ago or so. This happened multiple times to me.
Yup I'm at the point again where maintaining my own library is more convinient again. It's exactly the DRM shit I won't put up with. Also spotify, rdio etc. Are exactly the same price with the same restrictions per plan (in .ch at least). Price cartel, oligopoly?

Why?
