Spotify the Music Streaming Company

Who are the stakeholders affected and what are the ethical issues in this case? Is Spotify justified in saying it is prepared to pay but claimants will have to come to them and present a rightful claim? Or, does Spotify have the responsibility to find the artists and secure permission and pay the appropriate royalty before they stream the music? How do you evaluate the companys claim that the system is too complex and that the laws and copyright infrastructure are the problems in the digital music industry? Is the issue in this case that the law is not keeping up with the high-tech music streaming industry or that Spotify is using this as an excuse to take short cuts and engage in a questionable practice?
