Re: Spotify challenging Apple, I imagine they've been emboldened by Epic games (Fortnite game creator) challenging Apple in the US as well, could be an anti-competitive turning point coming soon...

The profit margin of big cooperate companies are ridiculous , all at the expense of the working class , and most don't pay enough tax , any new companies that are in start up that can be fair and share will be at the front in a few years imo . 5Orrell point is hopefully showing the way forward . i hope Melody are up to take on the big 6 and give all involved a fair share :) i know who i would rather buy from .
you can supply small speaker brackets for £4 to the market ( in a box finished so just post ) they sell for £29.00 !!!!!!
Looks to me that all BIG companies are at it.... Apple, Facebook.
Easy money... 30% is extreme.... Hopefully ( SOON ) A loop hole or negotiation are helping around it!!!

Hey 5orrell, The price increase in the app is due to the 30% commission charged by all the app stores. We'd encourage everyone to get their tickets via Ticketmaster/Universe ??
Spotify has filed a complaint with European regulators arguing that Apple limits choice and competition in its app store, giving its own music streaming service an unfair advantage over rivals.
Apple’s app store is an important distribution platform for Spotify. But Apple takes a 30% commission on all sales made through the app store – including music streaming subscriptions – which Spotify and many other third-party app developers have long complained is an unfair “tax”.
“Apple requires that Spotify and other digital services pay a 30% tax on purchases made through Apple’s payment system, including upgrading from our free to our premium service,” said Daniel Ek, Spotify co-founder and chief executive, in a blog post.
“If we pay this tax, it would force us to artificially inflate the price of our premium membership well above the price of Apple Music. And to keep our price competitive for our customers, that isn’t something we can do.”
Spotify ran an ad campaign in 2016 to try and get users to sign up for its premium service directly on its own site, bypassing the app store.
