There will be more breaches, and we'll have to deal with the fallout, but we shouldn't be apathetic about it. Any company that collects that much data about the public should be held to higher standards when storing it (or, better yet, shouldn't store it at all). An insincere apology and a free year of some service provided by the company that failed to protect our data in the first place isn't good enough.

Spotify has done a lot to make music more accessible and available since it first launched. It's spent a lot of time since its launch beholden to labels and content providers so anything it can do, at this point, to gain leverage over those providers is only going to benefit it, and its users, in the long term.
