Spotify the Beatles
ALL THEY NEED ARE STREAMS: Apple paid the Beatles $80m for iTunes exclusive rights to the catalog in a deal that runs out at the end of the year. Will the two parties re-up, or will the Beatles/EMI tandem shake things up by heading to an iTunes competitor? Will Spotify write the Beatles a big check for streaming rights and/or begin to make payments directly to artists in an attempt to rectify the perception on the part of many big acts that it erodes sales?
