bitchGlenn Peoples' is usually one of Billboard's best informed writers, particularly on the digital side of the music industry.

If he was trying to start a discussion, he succeed. David Lowery of The Trichordist, who is currently suing Spotify for $150 million, fired back that Peoples' tweet should win a Grammy for "Stupidest Tweet of the Year."
