>I don’t know much about how music licensing works. But would this cause smaller musicians to decide to pull their stuff off Spotify? It might, but then there's this: (1) they're not making money already anyway (they'd be getting like $3 for 1000 streams before) (2) that's were the listeners are (not the listeners they have, since they don't have many to begin with, but the ones they wish to attract) (3) most of such a low number as 1000 streams are usually themselves, band members, friends, and family, plus whoever they sent a link to and gave it a short listen before moving on.
