Thank you, Laura. Glad you liked it. And, indeed, I was a little unclear there. Yes, I was using “subscription” and “access” to describe the same thing. In truth, though, the two paid tiers of Spotify are subscriptions and the free version is an ad-supported model. I believe a hybrid model like that is what will hit books. In other words, varying levels of access based on how premium the subscription is.

Quick Q — in your third-to-last paragraph, are the subscription model and the access model one and the same?
