“More Than Books” Podcast – Ep. 28: The Spotify Parable

Description:  Joel and Colin discuss the concept of digital ownership and whether or not we delude ourselves by thinking that such a thing exists. Beginning with a conversation about digital music and streaming services, they segue into talking about the impact that digital-only media and the services that provide it have had on libraries, and what ordinary consumers can do to look out for both themselves and their favorite content creators.
