Useless is a strong word.

I think it made headlines when Tool, King Crimson and Rammstein decided to finally put their catalogue on streaming services.

My dad just smiled at me, when I told him about Crimson, because he pointed at his CD collection and said he already had their catalogue.

Similarly, I remember parts of Ayreon’s and Blind Guardian’s catalogue dissappeared from Spotify for a few months. The missing Blind Guardian reappeared in remastered/remixed editions and the originals vanished.

My point is that by owning the CDs, you’re not beholden to anyone’s interests in keeping the albums available for streaming.

If a streaming service, you don’t use, decided to pay for exclusive streaming rights of your favourite artist, there’s bog all you really can do, aside from switching service.
