I think that the major music groups, Sony, Universal and Warner, would like to eliminate the ownership model of selling music and change to a model where music is leased and the person who leases the music has no rights to it other than to listen to it. I think they will come down on anyone who tries to copy or store or sell the music like a ton of bricks as they have in the ReDiGi case.
So what's the problem when we have streaming services like Spotify and Pandora? Nothing at the moment, but I wouldn't expect these services to remain cheap once they're the only game in town.
I'm not a lawyer and I don't have any inside info. That's just my suspicion from having bought records from the majors and from watching how they deal with their artists and others for a very long time.
