Such a payout seems appealing in theory, but in practice will just give more money to the very popular bands since they dominate the market and leave a much smaller share for the others.
- einr 9y agoin practice will just give more money to the very popular bands since they dominate the market and leave a much smaller share for the others. Which is exactly the current situation, by the way. Anyway, what I was doing was just demonstrating that the system is not the same. Although I am admittedly bad at maths and statistics, it seems to me that the system I am proposing would be more likely to pay out at least coffee change to small-time artists. I might be wrong, though. Basically I think it's unfair and unintuitive how everything I pay goes to artists I don't listen to. There has to be a better system.
- Orphis 9y agoNo, I meant it would give more money than it does now. Smaller artists are REALLY small compared to any others. The main problem that small artists have is exposure and bad contracts anyway, and none of those can be fixed by changing the payment system.
