My guess is they are simultaneously confident and shitting themselves. The fact is they are creating a new music consumption paradigm so making confident projection on consumer behaviour is difficult. But then the service looks good, works well, is adequately funded and has the majors on board. So they are in a better place than anyone else, while acknowledging that everyone else trying any streaming service either has failed or is in the process of failing. I just hope they add in better indie music distribution, rev sharing (if their 18% partners don't mind). Napkin or not it’s interesting.
