Awesome!
Damn pirates! You really want everything for free, don’t you?
Of course it was meant to happen. Spotify is a threat to piracy so what should the pirates do?
Still, I don’t expect despotify to last more than a month…
Excuse me. What has despotify to do with piracy?
It’s a great engineering achievement! That opens up an amazing service to users not fortunate enough to be able to run the official Spotify client. They even write on the despotify website that “We strongly believe that you should pay for the premium service if you want to use the open source client”.
So I think you’re off on the wrong path when you start going on about pirates and piracy.
