    This is a P2P thing (but legal).

    No it's not p2p- you are not downloading anything (except software) or sharing anything thru your pc, just streaming from spotifys servers.

    From FAQs:
    "Why does Spotify use so many internet connections? Spotify uses a peer-to-peer network along with streaming servers to stream music. This is why you see multiple connections to other Spotify users."

    Also, if you don't change it through preferences, it will use up to 10% of your free disk space.
