It is not free, you pay a subscription in order to listen to whatever you would like. Despite that an album has to be listened to 1,500 times in order to be count as ONE pure sale of an album. This shows the accurate demand for an artists music. Stop hating and realize that streaming is the future of how music will sell, just like how record players were obsolete and in came CD drives, now CDS are a thing of the past and digital downloads/streaming are taking over. Use your brain, its not hard to comprehend
