    This is only my opinion but usually products and services are always sold for a price including cost + margin. So the variable part could be only the margin as the costs are not related to the country of the subscriber.
    Spotify is aiming to individuals, so it his their choice to try to attract more users by having a tier-pricing strategy is theirs. And if you want to accept either paypal or bitcoins or any kind of electronic wallet for example, it seems to me that it is impossible to filter.
    And I would say that if you are interested in a visionary plan, you are a serious user with needs much over the needs of an average individual or you intend to be a corporate user.
    I would say that in this case that pricing is not really relevant for a corporate usage as long as it remains reasonable.
    In fact you have two choices:
    1) Either you want things for free, in this case prepare yourself to abandon privacy. It is not free, your data will be sold, your mails scanned to plague you with "adequate" advertisements...
    2) Or you value your privacy and as you understand that a company needs direct or indirect revenue, and prioritizing privacy means that you have to prepare your wallet!
    I have myself considered to use it for a corporate use, but some features like the impossibility to back-up the mails for example are a clear no-go for corporate use.
    But if it had been adequate I would have considered the cost of a visionary plan as affordable.
