Spotify will cap it's listening limit for Free account users from 20 hours a month, down to 10 hours a month.

No way there's a 20 hour per month limit now. I listen to way more than that each month. Then again, I signed up for a Free account when they weren't offering them by haxxing URIs. Maybe I'll be immune. Which would be neat, because Spotify just makes things
easier than pirating.
With their changes, it's going to be a lot less ball ache to just pirate, and that's what people are going to do. I doubt they haven't realized that. They could only think this was a good idea if they were forced to by extortionate record labels. Unfortunately, 10 hours per month = 20 minutes a day, i.e. no time for adverts. They're shrivelling their own source of revenue.
Like you said, it'll still be handy for exploring new music, but there's no way I'll be able to continue using it as my default music player.
