Music: Owning vs Streaming

Streaming and owning will always co-exist. It's silly to say "iTunes will be dead now that there is Spotify" or "It's been proven that people want to own their music".

There are bands and artists and tracks that you will want to own, just like certain movies and books. And then there is music you just want to listen to — today, tomorrow, maybe next week, but not necessarily keep forever in your library, again just like certain movies and maybe tv shows that you Tivo and some books and magazines and newspapers. Really, who needs to own magazines?
