Spotfiy et. al need to evolve to cut out the middle man. Just as app developers can publish directly into the App Store, musicians need to own their work and publish it directly to different marketplaces.
- tommi 13y agoFunny how you would take App Store as an example of cutting out the middle man. App Store has been more about changing the middle man from multiple publishers on the market to just one.
- bluthru 13y agoGood point. I guess I mean cutting out one of the middle men. As it is now with music there are two middle men: The publisher and the store. Publishers are getting decent money from streaming services, so that would be nice if it went directly to the artists.
- CoachRufus87 13y agoThe middle man isn't imposed by Spotify. It's the few record labels to which many artists are signed to.
