Spotify... changing an entire industry?

So after months of speculation that this amazing music service was going to arrive to the US... finally the time has come and this week Spotify launched its service into the american market... The media and the business world are very excited cretting huge expectations... is it going to be the same success than in Europe...? Does this notion of renting music for 10$ a month will be translated into other industries ? What happened with the idea of buying music...? How does this affect Intellectual Property rights...? Itunes already revolutionized the music store concept globally... so I'm sure than Apple will give it a big fight back... so why it hasn't launched a similar concept of service yet with their available music rights.... Do they think it won't work and maybe European purchasing habits are different than americans...? Let's see what happens but if there's a clear sign from this launching is that the way content is been sold might change in the near future if Spotify is a big success.
