Recently, a heated debate has erupted on social media due to the elimination of the pirated version of Spotify Premium. Thousands of users around the world were affected when they learned that they could no longer access this version for free and that they would now have to subscribe and pay to enjoy music and podcasts without ads.
The removal of the APK files of Spotify Premium has been the cause of this controversy. Many users of the pirated version confirmed through various platforms that the company managed to block those files, thus preventing people from illegally accessing the premium version of the app on their devices. The APK files allowed the app to be installed on Android devices without having to pay.
In light of this situation, some users have shown reluctance to pay for the premium service and are looking for similar alternatives to Spotify to continue enjoying music for free. Meanwhile, other users who used the original version of Spotify Premium celebrated the elimination of the pirated version, considering it unfair that some enjoyed the same benefits without paying.
Amid this scenario, social media was flooded with memes and comments about the closure of the pirated Spotify. On one hand, users outraged by the removal of the free option expressed their dissatisfaction, accusing the capitalist system of depriving them of the opportunity to enjoy music freely. On the other hand, those advocating for payment for the service expressed satisfaction with the measure.
So far, Spotify has not made any statements regarding this. This fact has sparked an intense debate among those who consider it an achievement in the fight against piracy and those who see this measure as an obstacle to accessing music. The discussion remains open on social media, where diverse opinions and stances on this topic are expressed.
