And what do you expect to happen to Spotify when the musicians leave for someplace that pays them appropriately?
- SCHiM 6y agoThe answer is piracy again. For a moment in time, piracy of movies and series was at a low point. Recently, with the fragmentation of all the different streaming services it's rising again.
- moistbar 6y agoThe real answer is that Spotify will melt under its own inadequacy and the new platform will thrive. You adapt or you die, and I would have no sympathy for Spotify if they couldn't adapt.
- leesalminen 6y agoPresumably these new brands have to charge their customers more in order to pay the artists more, right? I’m about at the max of what I’m willing to pay for music per month...
- Milner08 6y agoI don't care if its Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music or some new competitor. But if they get more expensive they will not win people over.
- disgu 6y agoMusicians have complained in the past and threatened to leave and some have left... just to then come back.
- kgog 6y agoI'm trying to come up with a word for that.. I think it starts with a M and ends with a Y and has a onopol in the middle somewhere.
- Macha 6y agoIt's hard to argue that Spotify is a monopoly when Apple Music, whatever Google's service is called now and Tidal have pretty much the same selection. And you can buy DRM free music still on iTunes and Qobuz. And even physical media. Oligopoly at worst.
- cdepatie 6y agoAren't Spotify deals typically coming from the record companies themselves, not the musicians? Unless artists reject the current record company model, Spotify isn't going to be able to fix this problem for them.
