Anthraxin Scott Ian kääntänyt kelkkansa Spotifyn suhteen: ”Se on hyvä keksintö”

Anthraxin kitaristi Scott Ian on julkisesti todennut moneenkin eri otteeseen pitävänsä Spotifya huonona keksintönä sen maksaessa niin huonosti rojalteja artisteille striimauksista. Nyt Ian on tuoreessa Alternative Pressin haastattelussa todennut tulleensa toisiin ajatuksiin Spotifyn suhteen ja pitääkin ohjelmaa nyt yhtenä parhaana keksintönä koskaan.

”I don’t care how people get their music — I don’t care — as long as they’re not stealing it. So, really, it doesn’t matter to me if you’re listening to vinyl or you’re streaming; I don’t care. I’m not one of these people anymore that is against technology or the future. I was [against it] until I found out how our deal actually worked with things like Spotify. I was actually criticizing out of ignorance about two years ago. And then I learned how things were working specifically for us. I don’t know how it works for every band, but I got educated and I embraced Spotify big time after that.”

”I look at it this way: as long as a band is getting paid for what they do, I don’t care how people get their music; it doesn’t matter to me… however you enjoy it. At home now, I’m pretty much… We have music on… If we’re awake, there’s music on in the house, and it’s generally Spotify through out Sonos system, so you’ve got music in every room, and it’s Spotify, so you can hear whatever you want at any given time, because it has everything. It’s the greatest. [Laughs] Oh my God! It’s the best thing ever.”
