This is EXACTLY what I think AT&T is going to do with content it now owns due to the Time-Warner acquisition being allowed to go through. THIS is why my stomach hit the floor when I read about said acquisition.
That doesn't make sense, Sprint didn't pay a shitload of money for a third of Tidal because they're Prince fans. They bought it to make money. If people can't access it, they lose money.
