U2: New album preview – exclusively on Spotify

22 February 2009

If you choose to listen to the U2 album exclusive listening party on Spotify, your email we will be shared with the Universal Music Group and U2’s management. UMG may then contact you to invite you to join the U2 Official Mailing List.

I don’t think this is a smart move on Spotify’s part. Sure, Universal will have made this mandatory for Spotify to get the exclusive but it now means that I don’t trust them with my details. It’s a very good way of pissing off your existing early-adopter user base.
