Please provide an example. As the examples I have seen of artists showing their Spotify payments do not support this assertion.
Here is a link to one such example I have seen which has each song paid at the same amount per play. This has made the number of items on the payment record to simply be the number of different songs which were played by that artist. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BMIstatement2.jpg http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/B...
- ianlevesque 12y agoThat is a statement sent to the artist but broadcasters report far more detail to SoundExchange and licensing agencies.
- genericuser 12y agoAnd this whole time I was precisely talking about what would need to be sent to the artist... Guess I am just missing your point, if you had one. Edit due to reply since its getting nested way too deep: Thanks for clarifying. I never meant to say it was a reason to switch, complexity should never be a reason not to improve. I am just trying to say it isn't what I would call a 'simple' solution as the author asserts. I am also questioning just how much individual artists would actually want to receive all that information, which I believe would become necessary for them.
- ianlevesque 12y agoJust trying to convey that complexity of the accounting for broadcasters is not a reason to stick with the current payout system. The proposal isn't much more complicated than the data we already have to report to some agencies.
