This is a fact that Spotify definitely does not advertise... Their
"About Spotify" page doesn't mention this aspect at all and their long
FAQ page has it hidden in the question "Why does Spotify use so many
internet connections".

Maybe "peer-to-peer" has such a bad name in the music industry that
they feel they need to keep that hidden. ;)

Spotify is a peer-to-peer service and works sort of like BitTorrent, so
you are uploading music to others while it is running.
