Were I a musician with control of my output, I’d sure as hell disallow Spotify streaming. Paying this dork $250M and me 3 cents for the same time period? Nope.

- apetresc 3y agoYou do understand they're not paying him $250M per listen, right?
- cmoski 3y agoI don't think the artists get 3c per listen either.
- cirrus3 3y agoYou may only get 3 cents in the same time period if no one likes your music enough to listen to it. You don't just get to throw anything up there and expect to get the same $250M. Certainly you understand that they don't pay by time period, right? Value to them comes from time spent actually consuming the content and how much they can make inserting ads during that time or getting new subscribers to avoid the number of ads. Maybe musicians are getting a bad deal, and I'm no longer fan of JRE either... but your argument is clearly so off-base.
