Spotify certainly sounds like a good deal for users and The Labels, but not much for the Artist(s).
let's keep in mind that Spotify is still Europe-only for now, But...
If someone with as much world-wide fame as Lady Gaga could get this much for a million plays, then what about the less known artist(s)?
And who actually gets to see and keep this $167?...RIAA bosses, Label Bosses, or Lady Gaga
Great post BTW!
- ABrandt 17y agoWhat if you look at those 1 million song plays as advertising. She (or who ever Spotify's agreement is with) actually was paid to advertise her music to 1 million people worldwide. The article mentions that she sold 4 million records and 20 million paid downloads. Would those numbers be nearly as high if countless people didn't get to try her out through streaming services first?
