I fear it is not possible to prevent people from setting up computers/virtual machines that play certain songs 24/7; and I'm surprised that there aren't services yet that offer to do that on scale.

This might mean that Spotify's current business model can not work longterm?

How hard have you looked? I don't say that to be snarky, but that sounds like a service with a bit of overhead for startup with little maintenance to run. I don't think it would be openly advertised, however, for fear of legal action from music services.
