many of the demands listed, while well intentioned, are ill considered at best. Take the first demand for instance, pay $0.01 per play. on the face this sounds fine, until you look at the economics of this. Spotify Premium is $9.99, that means for every premium user there is only 999 plays per month at BEST if you don't consider any other overheads, before that payment is exhausted (not including things like discounts for 12 month plans, student and family pricing). This is not to say artists shouldn't get paid more, but how many people would take say a 10x price increase to fund this level of payment? That's not to mention they also want to remove the income stream of artists paying for increased plays on the platform (pushing more cost to the user) again, the demands may be well intentioned, and many should just be adopted such as crediting all labour for a recording, but obviously no-one has looked at the economics' it would take to actually realise the level of payment being asked for here and thought about if consumers would be willing to pay that price.
