Warner Music To Stop Offering Free Music Streaming?

By Leave a Comment

Its being reported that Warner Music may cut its ties with free streaming music services like Last.fm and Spotify. Digital Trends as well as many others have reported on this potential foot shooting by Warner.

If you’re a fan of free online streaming music services like Last.fm or Spotify, your music selection might be getting a lot smaller. Warner Music Group, one of the big four record labels, has apparently decided that free music streaming sites aren’t doing it any good, with CEO Edgar Bronfman saying yesterday that such services were “clearly no positive for the industry.”
