"on the free version of Spotify" I block ads on everything, and everyway I can, but I do pay for my subscription.

It makes sense to block freeloaders, especially when they need to PAY some for the song one listened. It is reasonable that they get some revenue in one form or another.

On this one, I believe people should be protesting over the nature of format of ads, not the existence of ads altogether.

They have a web player linked from the bottom of their home page, and ad blockers work while using it.

Are you sure that's for paid accounts? I'm using it right now on a browser with no ad blocker and I don't get ads.

I don't understand your question. If you pay, they don't serve you ads, no?

OP was asking if it was limited to the free version, and your answer seemed to imply that the web player served ads for all versions, since it didn't specify the account type. If that wasn't the implication, then my question is no longer valid.

+1. This only seems to be applicable to free accounts, but that doesn't mean that's the way it's written. Anyone want to bite the bullet and read the legalese?
