Free Spotify makes money, good money inferred by the article, but as you say not for the leechers, I mean RIAA.
I guarantee if you and I made a song, put it online ourselves, it wont sell as no one will know of it as RIAA will keep it off air.
Your right, get rid of them, Ted Turner etc. What was a central marketing place for music, is now a monopoly where they decide what plays on air, what to keep as revenue, and I assume from many past anecdotal readings, the artists don't get a fair mouthful from the pie. Rules with an iron fist, or in this case a money green fist

If you read the article you'll see that the free service pays squat to the riaa and that angers the riaa and its a loss leader. The free tier loses money.
Anyway. The riaa isn't needed anymore. Point blank not necessary. Anyone with a Mac mini and talent and instruments can produce an album and distribute it globally without the riaa. Good riddance.

Spotify can just keep the free service, or dveleope a web based access to the premium service.
