The argument here is that Spotify is adding to their curated playlists songs/artists that they do not need to pay royalties to. So they end up paying out less royalties to musicians like your wife
- nivenkos 5y agoRoyalties will still be paid though. And royalties are paid from a revenue share model AFAIK, it's not a strict 0.0X cents per stream, etc. It's probably a bit of a better deal than the royalty agreements with the big 4 record labels, but I'd be surprised if it's so much so to organise this sort of conspiracy.
- Rastonbury 5y agoIf 3 songs out of 30 on every curated playlist was royalty free that's 10% less royalties. It's the same business rationale as Amazon Basics
