The artist sold their distribution rights to the labels. What do you think could be done differently from Spotify side that was still legal?

  Fun side note, spotify (from sweden) started of with a collection of pirated (scene) releases, prolly from thepiratebay(sweden): https://torrentfreak.com/spotifys-beta-used-pirate-mp3-files-some-from-pirate-bay-170509/ https://torrentfreak.com/spotifys-beta-used-pirate-mp3-files...

  They could have said streaming a song was equivalent to a Radio play and not pressing a vinyl record. Boom, instantly performers and writers get more money and the labels less.

    It’s moronic to keep asserting that Spotify had all the power here, or made the decision on how the labels should distribute revenues.

      Some other streaming services (e.g. Pandora) pay out on streams as if they are radio plays.
