From requiring a larger payout in the beginning, which started the proposed scenario.
- chiefalchemist 8y agoBut that's not the start in my scenario. It's the end. It's a symptom. It's the result of what happens upstream in the broader biz model of being a band / musician. With their revenue streams limited (read: streaming doesn't pay anything close to the way physical media did) they're all but forced to require a larger payout. If they don't get it there, then where? When? Think of it this way, every time you stream a song for free the cost of that band's live concert ticket goes up a bit.
