Still doesn't solve Spotify's core long term issue : if they make lots of money, right holders know exactly how hard they can negotiate for better fees. Netflix fights that with their own content now, but Spotify doesn't seem to be interested to go that way (and I'm not sure they could anyway).
So they're pretty much trapped into being a barely profitable company that's also milking money to the content owner.
