Why Apple and Spotify hate each other
Below right is the actor, Chris Diamantopoulos who plays the Sean Parker "angel financier" type character for Eric's company Pied Piper.
His character is an idiot billionaire who cons and lucks his way to the top in Silicon Valley but knows nothing about computers.
Justin Timberlake played Sean Parker in The Social Network, by Aaron Sorkin about Facebook.
Sorkin is writing the screenplay for the Steve Jobs movie.
Apple shouldn't be investigated, but the major record labels who own large stakes in Spotify should be:
Sony-BMG (5.8 percent), Universal Music (4.8 percent), Warner Music (3.8 percent) and EMI (1.9 percent).
Collectively they own 16.9% of Spotify, which was basically created to take down Apple's iTunes.
It's always been an incestuous business, In the early days, the broadcasting companies owned the record labels, like CBS, RCA, ABC, but this is still weird.
